Fresh Debian install.
apt-get install mgetty ppp
All well and good. /etc/inittab is set up properly.
According to Debian's documented config files, any user (other than root
and a few others) with a valid shell account should now be able to call
in and establish a ppp connections using their username/password from
/etc/passwd. When I dial with my Windows 98 or Windows 2000 boxes the
modem picks up, it waits a few seconds, and then disconnects because the
connection can't be established. There is no useful info in the mgetty
or system logs, no matter what debug level I set mgetty to.
I need to be able to do this on a stock Debian box. Why won't it work?
Google hasn't turned up anything other than what I've already done. Can
someone nudge me in the right direction?
