OK, it's yours.

A few things you should know:
 * mgetty-voice package is currently not being built because the author
   says it is unstable/beta.  Perhaps it should eventually be built and
   go into experimental.
 * mgetty source produces multiple binary packages: mgetty, mgetty-fax,
   and mgetty-docs.  These are generated automatically by debian/rules
   and debmake/debstd.
 * The latest version I have released is 1.1.2-1

Go ahead and make an update so your name is referenced as author.

One other thing: the mgetty in stable (1.0.0-1 or so if I recall) has a few
minor bugs that have already been fixed as of version 1.1.2-1.  So if you
get a bug report against that version, tell people to try the latest version
or check yourself to see if it has been fixed.  The most common thing like
this is people talking about /var/log/mgetty.

I'll go ahead and remove it from my development tree unless I hear otherwise
from you.

John

     I have a Debisn 1.2 system which I had been using on the net at 
one time.  For various reasons I had to stop using it and now I am 
trying to get it going again however there is a problem with PPP.  In 
the ppp.log file the dymamic ip addresses are acknolaged and a lock 
established then there is a line that says that it is attempting to 
add an ethernet address to the arp table.  What ethernet address? his 
or mine?  If mine I don't have one and if his what should it care 
since it is running via modem?  After this line the link is dropped.

     At other places amd at the end there are ppp.log entries that 
say the line is not 8 bit clear and that bit 7 is 0.  What does this 
mean?  At some point my ISP's system was taken out of service for 
maintainance but it may have been at that point that I started 
recieving this second error.

     Any help would be greatly appriciated.


     Chris

Subject: MHS mail transport available for linux ?

     I know that there is quite a bit of support for Novel networks 
in linux.  Does anyone know if there is an MHS mail transport 
available?  Currently I am running a DOS based remote client to my 
shop but it would be great if there were something in linux.  dosemu 
is a possibility I suppose but I was really trying to avoid that if 
possible since the DOS based system wouldn't really integrate into 
linux properly.
