You can find documentation through
1. info mgetty
2. reading/printing the manual in this directory
The only thing you usually need to do is customize the configuration
files in /etc/mgetty and /etc/inittab.
Inittab entries
---------------
You can find examples of inittab entries in:
/usr/share/doc/mgetty/examples/inittab.DEBIAN (provided mgetty-docs is
installed).
Faxing (if mgetty-fax installed)
--------------------------------
In order for faxrunqd to be run by /etc/init.d/mgetty-fax, you will need
to specify the port(s) to be used, in /etc/mgetty/faxrunqd.config
Customize /etc/mgetty/faxheader to have your phone number on all faxes.
The receiving script is stored as /etc/mgetty/new_fax. It receives four
parameters or more: the hangup code, the remote id, the number of pages,
the file names.
If you are going to be using sendfax directly, then you'll probably
want to tell it which ports to use in /etc/mgetty/sendfax.config
--------------------------
Some modems have a bug wherein they refuse to receive FAXes at any speed
other than 19200 bps. Many modern modems do not have this problem, so the
default behavior of mgetty now is *not* to switch the speed to 19200 bps.
IF you are having troubles with receiving FAXes, add the following line to
your /etc/mgetty/mgetty.config:
switchbd 19200
This will put you back to the default behavior of mgetty prior to the
release of version 1.1.0-2.
PAP-Dialup
----------
mgetty's /etc/mgetty config files are preconfigured to allow easy access
for dialup without a dialin script using PAP authentication.
If you install the pppd package then dialup from Win95 or other compatible
dialers is a snap. See win95.ppp in this directory.
FIDO EMSI Handling
------------------
mgetty comes with FIDO support enabled. A sequence of characters is send
before the login prompt to detect and EMSI session and later erased with
backspace. If this causes problems then switch EMSI off in mgetty.config.
This can be done by placing a line "fido-send-emsi n" in /etc/mgetty.config.
mgetty-voice Documentation and Examples
---------------------------------------
Can be found under /usr/share/doc/mgetty/voice once mgetty-docs has
been installed.
Windoze Client
--------------
There is a W9x/WNT client, which allows you to send faxes from windows
to a server running mgetty, to be faxed:
