Hi all.
 
   I am wondering what I have to do to get Minix look at a modem on COM2 as
a login.  I am using Minix 1.3 and have recompiled it so that the default
COM port is COM2 (or /dev/tty2) and in the Minix text it says that for
Minix to fork off a login process to another port all I have to do is add
another line to the file /etc/ttys.  I've done this but nothing seems to
work.  I have a kermit server program which does work on COM2, but I can't
seem to get Minix to fork off a login process for it.  What I want to do is
be able to log into Minix from a remote modem.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
 
Thanks, TTYL!
