help on error msg mgetty !

Gert, Hallo mein freund,
    Thank you for the reply, the errors below happen with a dial-in.
I have just started on the FAQ page www.webforum and will
start from ground zero. It looks as if my problems are a shadow
of Thomas Cameron, I will piggy back off his progress and your
advice to him, I will go through the FAQ and hopefully find my
solution, I jumped into mgetty with just a small knowledge of the
process and will feel better when I know that I'm at wits end,
and need help to resolve it.

I'm sure you get tired of answering the same questions over
and over.

Ich danke ihnen vielmals,

Greg
