Thank you for sending the source for the bi directional getty.
It has been a wish item around here for some time.  I tried
installing your bi-directional getty and only had one problem,
the "modem" recognized the "RING" and "CONNECT" strings from
the modem, but after I logged into the system I.E. after
"login:", and "Password:", the system displayed the following:

-- No utmp entry. You must exec "login" from the lowest level "sh". --

The manual page on login had the diagnostic listed above with the
following explaination of why I recieved the error.

-- if  you  attempted  to execute login as a command without --
-- using the shell's exec internal  command  or  from  other --
-- than the initial shell.                                   --

I just don't understand the message or the explaination.
modem was started by init, and login is started by an exec
call.  If there was a bug in our system, it doesn't seam that 
we could even login to our system with a normal getty.

Does anyone have this same problem, and/or solution????
confused with modem
