mgetty-1.1.14 (PPP Server)

Description

Mgetty is a ``smart'' getty replacement, designed to be used with hayes compatible data and data/fax modems. Mgetty knows about modem initialization, manual modem answering (so your modem doesn't answer if the machine isn't ready), UUCP locking (so you can use the same device for dial-in and dial-out). Mgetty provides very extensive logging facilities.

This manpage doesn't try to detail mgetty setup in detail, it just lists the most important options. For detailed instructions, see the info file mgetty.info (mgetty.texi).
