How do : I configure it? Like what setup do I need for getty to get it to : auto-answer? I'm having problems with this myself. I don't have a courier modem but tried it with an external 2400 baud modem. I think the problems I was having were due to the fact that I was using a 25 pin to 9 pin modem cable. I used to use the modem on my bbs with a 25 pin to 25 pin modem cable that gave me no problems. I think the 9 pin cable wasn't supplying some needed signals or something. Well now I have a 14.4k internal modem that I haven't gotten to work yet. I still haven't gotten it configured quite right for the comm port and irq setting. I have an ide card that has two comm ports on it and since I bought it a long time ago I lost the handy dandy guide two page guide that explained the jumpers on it. Now it's down to trial and error to at least disable one of the ports so my internal modem will work.
