Thanks to everyone who assisted me a couple of weeks ago. I successfully
configured Linux to act as a dialin server and allow my husband to call
home from work and surf the internet via our RoadRunner connection.
My only strangeness involves a cron I setup to turn on and off mgetty
answering the phone.
I don't have the exact entry from crontab (I may dialin to home later and
retrieve it) but I'm basically deleting the nologin.ttyS1 file from etc
folder at 9:03 a.m. and recreating it at 6:03 p.m. every day.
Trouble is it never runs. Is it a rights issue? A path issue? I'm stumped.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
