Hey guys, I got responses from Martin Maney, Dirk Dettmering and Skylar Thompson. Thanks all (and yes I was remiss in saying Linux 8.0, when I meant redhat Linux 8.0). mgetty will stop faxes with the following command line " mgetty -C data ttyS1 " The -D option .. as in " mgetty -D ttyS1 " does not work, also putting a line in the mgetty.config for "data-only y" on port ttyS1 did not work. Something is broken there. I will look at the source code to see what is going on. RECAP of problem: I had two modem lines for dialin and did not want faxes coming in on these lines. mgetty is a sweet tool and did not want to give up on it. SOLUTION : mgetty -C data ttyS1 Len Laulainen (952) 567-4211 len@euler.com _______________________________________________ LinuxManagers mailing list - http://www.linuxmanagers.org submissions: LinuxManagers@linuxmanagers.org subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.linuxmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxmanagers
