The kicker is you have to tell the system you have a phone line -plugged into the second phone port, and you are using it for 'data' -communications (even if you want to use it for voice calls occasionally). -If you have the phone manager running, and make this change, you'll see the -top line change from VOICE2: IDLE to DATA or something like that. Log out -and the system should happily start a getty (or uugetty) on the port. - Not neccessary. Configure the one and only line as VOICE. Then use the 'phtoggle' command to toggle between DATA (auto-answer) and VOICE mode. I use a cron job to toggle my machine into DATA at 9:00 AM and back to VOICE at 5:00 PM. This way I can get my usenet feed during the day while I'm at work, and still use the phone for voice call when I'm at home (if a salesman calls while I'm at work, let him eat carrier ;-). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Jespersen UUCP: uunet!attcan!hjespers AT&T Canada Inc. or ..!attcan!nebulus!arakis!hans Toronto, Ontario #include
