Re: Re: getty vs minicom
According to Andrew MacIntyre:
> As I was used to agetty and minicom cooperating nicely on an ancient Slackware box, I expected this to work on this much more recent Debian box <sigh>.
That is because that worked with the cua/ttyS devices (kernel based
locking between dialin/dialout) which has officially been deprecated
by the linux kernel developers.

Complex? Mgetty? mgetty -s 38400 /dev/ttyS1 ?
> The situation's more or less under control, so I won't worry about the problem further, although I was disappointed not be able to find the getty source package.
Source of both agetty and mgetty is available on all debian mirrors.
