Don't know abt. mgetty, but getty_ps does just that for data -
no fax support. It works just like real-live uugetty but better in that
it will let you set up a modem initialization string to send each time
the modem is released from use (either uucp drops it or it drops from
terminal mode.) as well as being able to use Dialers file type "expect-
send" chat entries. This allows the modem to autobaud and the getty
software to adjust the speed so the user doesn't have to keep banging
away on the enter or break key until the system finds a speed it's happy
with. I think it's already installed but not active until you change
the format of the entries in inittab. Source and doc should be found in:
/usr/src/getty_ps (at least it is on mine :)! )
Good luck!, Mark
