Bizarre getty issue



Upon installing Debian 2.0 on my Satellite 205CDS laptop (slowly getting
rid of NT everywhere!), this laptop, pretty much every 5 minutes, whips out
a bunch of error messages relating to /sbin/getty, then suddenly tells me
its going to "wait for 5 minutes".

I'm not sure where this comes from, as I didn't install getty or mgetty.  I
know this relates to the modem somehow, but this occurs irregardless of
whether I use the PCMCIA modem or not.

Any ideas would be really appreciated.  I'd like to deinstall whatever it
is, and really quick :)
