Last time I sent in fixes for this nothing ever happened 'cause it wasn't deemed a "bug", but a security thing. _however_ either you add the features, or remove them from the documentation.

Yip! Just like mgetty only crunchy! I'm sure i've seen the patches for getty to autodetect PPP LCP and run ppp so all we need now is fax recognition and we have mgetty (hehe) Perhaps if the autodetect PPP stuff hasn't been added in yet you could look to do that in a "minor-mega-commit" of all these changes.. :] Regards, Peter -- Peter Childs --- http://www.imforei.apana.org.au/~pjchilds Finger pjchilds@al.imforei.apana.org.au for public PGP key Drag me, drop me, treat me like an object!
