Older mgetty versions had all class 2 modems in "class 0 mode" while waiting for incoming calls, which worked very well for some Rockwell modems, and not so well for others. With class 2.0 modems, the modem always *had* to be in fax mode. Recently, I changed the settings so that some class 2 modems are also run in "class 2 mode", so maybe that triggered the problem at your end. gert -- USENET is *not* the non-clickable part of WWW! //www.muc.de/~gert/ Gert Doering - Munich, Germany gert@greenie.muc.de fax: +49-89-35655025 gert.doering@physik.tu-muenchen.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
