Can't get a dialup line working, that has been working for about 5 months. This is after a recent upgrade to 4.0. My modem is only autoanswering in some situations, when I have some 'active' ('ish) process sitting on the serial port, eg. kermit -l /dev/ttyd1 and it answers OK. Come out of kermit, and try to dial in to get a simple terminal style (getty) connection, and the modem does not pick up the line. Tried a couple of different modems, and a couple of different serial cables.
