Basically, after reserving a dialer, it hangs up the line it is on (the hangup can be suppressed by an option), dials the number and spawns a login process on the data line associated with the dialer. On 4.1 (and probably 4.2), you might be able to simulate this with a shell script using 'call' (which calls a nunber from a dialing unit with no special action) and running /etc/getty on the data line that corresponds to the dialer. (remember to add a delay for you to hang up with and also remember to ignore hangup signals.) -Mike
