Jason,

> Is anyone using mgetty??  Did anyone have problems getting it setup??

	I have used for the past year with Slackware 3.0 (linux 1.2.13).
I had no trouble using it for fax reception or transmission, and remote login.
I have not yet started using it under Debian.

	For security purposes, I changed /dev/ttyS1 ownership to uucp.uucp
and ran the fax daemon as uucp.

	I did have some trouble configuring it to work with kermit.  It
frequently detected kermit use as a failed fax reception, and kindly reset
the modem.  I worked around this by adding a run level to /etc/inittab which
disabled mgetty and allowed me to use kermit.  An inelegant kludge I admit.
A better suggestion from this list would be appreciated.
