Well, it seems that my problems come from my internal modem. As soon as
I took out the uugetty on the internal modem's tty my system quit hanging.
I haven't had very much luck with getting getty (or uugetty) to handle the
modem correctly. It may be (probably is) my modem, which is an older internal
2400 baud modem. I have a friend who is using the exact same software setup
but with a new everex external modem and his works fine. The other person
who had a similar problem may want to try a different modem, or disable
the modem and see if everything else works. That is what I did and it was
obviously the modem's problem. As an aside, does anyone have any information
on setting up a modem with getty (or uugetty) for remote logins and for use
as a dial out port? I would like to have the remote login feature but with
only one modem, I still need to dial out to my mainframe. Anyone up to a
short tutorial? Thanks again.
