How to set up dial in and out with mgetty

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hi
i'm trying to setup my linux box RH6.0 to be able to dial out and in
(off course not at the same time) using the same modem a USR 56K.
When i have the mgetty running i can dial into the linux but i can't
dial out. I have a cron job dialing out to my isp on the hour using
ppp-on script. The /var/log/message says
kernel: PPP: version 2.3.3 (demand polling)
       	 ppp line discipline registered
mgetty[111212] tcgetattr failed: Input/Output error
		tcsetattr failed: Input/Output error   	
		tcsetattr failed: Input/Output error
kernel: PPP: ppp line discipline successfuly unregistered

On the other hand if i start the ppp-on script by hand the connection
to the isp works fine. And trying to dial in returns a busy signal
which is ok

pppd: pppd startted by root
and the chat script takes over and every works fine

Please help, i am sure many of you have a similar set up working
