Re: mgetty prevents calls
I believe that your problem is that your ppp configuration uses /dev/modem,
and mgetty uses /dev/ttyS0.
My suggestion for you is to get rid of the /dev/modem stuff, as it is causing
problems with locking the devie (the modem). See mgetty's documentation for
more details.
Simply using /dev/ttyS0 (assuming this is where your modem is), instead of
/dev/modem, might solved your problem.
