I wish, but no.
The modem settings are identical. The modem firmware revisions are
identical. The mgetty configuration lines are the same. The inittab
lines are the same. This is really bizarre. It used to work with bo,
and one of my mgetty upgrades killed it a long time back. I asked back
then, and nobody offered to help.
