Serial modem connection on RedHat 6.2

[David Woo]

Thanks to everyone for the responses!  The solution was to:

1.  Install only the mgety RPM.
2.  Add an entry to the /etc/inittab table for the serial port ttyS0:

        7:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty     ttyS0

3.  Edit the config file /etc/mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config:

        port ttyS0
          debug 3
          data-only y
          speed 38400

4.  Reread the inittab table:

        telinit Q

That's it!  Thanks to Ed Allen, Don Erickson, & Richard Johnson for all
the help.
