Hi, I set up dial-up on 1.1.5.1 with a 14.4K modem, and upon connection made, it just sits there and hangs without giving me the login prompt. Instead, after idle for some moments, I start getting funny characters echoed back to me whenever I press on any key on the keyboard. Most noticeably is that return becomes ~M and all sorts of wrong characters get echoed back. However, if I kill the getty listening on the dial-in modem, it will return me a proper login prompt without dropping connection and I was able to login successfully. Any idea what is wrong ? Why the first getty job not giving me the correct response, but have to wait for me to kill it and respawn to talk correctly with the dial-out modem ? Does the first getty assume a wrong speed when it is started ? Thanks in advance.
