Does anyone have a modem dial-in connection working in Slackware 12 or
13 using agetty? I've only been able to login once usually it just
connects and doesn't do anything. I have the modem set to auto answer
ATS0=1 and I'm using this line in /etc/inittab

d1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -mt60 38400,19200,9600,2400,1200 ttyS0
vt100

Re-read inittab with:
# init q

The modem is a Multi Tech MT5600ZDZ 56K and I can connect and login to
my SCO Unix box using this same modem and phone line so I know those
are both ok. I'm just wondering if anyone actually has this working
on a recent version of Slackware. I've also tried uugetty without
success, I haven't tried mgetty yet, but it seems like I should be
able to do this with agetty.

I did notice that the agetty process doesn't always show up with ps -
ef, but only seems to come up after the phone rings.
