Date: Sat, 20 May 2000 19:56:31 +1000 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2919.5600 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2919.5600 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've installed mgetty from packages & trying to configure it to answer incoming calls. The handbook insists that mgetty must be compiled with "Auto-PPP", but doesn't provide any clues on the packages version, or how to check if the "Auto-PPP" bit is enabled. I do get login: & password: prompts when I attempt dialing in with Win2000 ("bring up terminal window after dialling" enabled) so that suggests that the auto bit isn't running, but since mgetty is supposed to be the "bees knees" for dialup, I can't imagine why the package would be built without Auto-PPP. Anyone know about this stuff ?? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
