I know this seems obvious but have you checked your connections and 
that your modems are still working?  They may have received a power 
spike, and check your serial ports.  I usually eliminate the 
possibility of a hardware fault before I start stuffing around with the 
system.

Hey all,

I've come across a slight problem with mgetty.  I've been using it for 
dial-in access for a couple of users that travel a bit.  Its been 
working perfectly for months up until sometime yesterday afternoon.  Its 
now coming up with this:

Jun 21 09:32:42 gunada mgetty[1007]: init chat failed, exiting...: 
Interrupted system call
Jun 21 09:32:42 gunada mgetty[1007]: failed in mg_init_data, dev=ttyS0, 
pid=1007

And just isn't picking up the phone so it just rings out.

Ideas?

TIA :)


/ Ben
