getty blocks dialout. mgetty just plain loopy.
I am trying to set up a modem for both dialin and dialout use. I have been
unable to do this with either getty or mgetty.
If I run "getty -h -w 38400 ttyS1", I cannot dialout. Kermit says
Sorry, can't open connection: /dev/cua1: Device or resource busy
If PPP is up when I start the getty (i.e. "telinit Q" after editing
/etc/inittab), I get
May 6 18:38:53 dagobah /sbin/getty[2201]: /dev/ttyS1: cannot open as standard input: Device or resource busy
May 6 18:39:03 dagobah /sbin/getty[2202]: /dev/ttyS1: cannot open as standard input: Device or resource busy
...
If I run "mgetty -b -r ttyS1", dialins produce
May 5 02:51:12 dagobah mgetty[188]: tcsetattr failed: I/O error
May 5 02:51:12 dagobah mgetty[188]: cannot turn off soft carrier: I/O error
May 5 02:51:12 dagobah mgetty[188]: tcgetattr failed: I/O error
May 5 02:51:12 dagobah mgetty[188]: cannot get TIO: I/O error
I am really wishing I had not upgraded...
