- You need to hit return a number of times. Unfortunitly I had to modify
- getty to work this way since otherwise error correcting modems would
- always fail to connect since they send garbage to the computer.
- (does any one know if there is a better way around this problem?)
-
- Just try hitting return rapidly until you get a login prompt.
-
- So far there hasn't been much interest in the BBS so I haven't kept
- up with the latest Linux files for it, but if people request a particular
- file I'll try to get it.
