i use the following line in /etc/inittab to make mgetty provide me
with a login prompt through modem dialin:
T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -D -x0 -n3 -s 57600 ttyS0
this works fine except when i turn the modem off, then the entire
machine hangs - no keyboard access to the console, not network access,
no nothing.
i don't think this makes sense and would like to change it. do you
have suggestions on how to go about preventing mgetty from freezing
the machine in case of a disconnected modem?
