hi gang!
I'm interested in setting up incoming PPP on a system at work that has a fresh (not upgrade) Centos 4.4 on it.
All the documentation I've found for that shows using mgetty to do it, and seems pretty straightforward.
However, that machine doesn't have a binary named mgetty anywhere.
It does have a mgetty-sendfax RPM installed, but it does not provide a binary named mgetty.
"yum -list available | grep -y getty" shows no additional packages I could use to obtain it.
so, how does one set up incoming PPP on Centos 4.4?
(I've searched the RH knowledgebase and all I found there that came close was a very nice document on doing it on RHEL 3, which shows how to do it with mgetty. Catch 22.)
Thanks!

Odd: summer@coco:~$ rpm -qa '*gett*' mgetty-1.1.31-2 gettext-0.14.1-13 mgetty-voice-1.1.31-2 mingetty-1.07-3 mgetty-sendfax-1.1.31-2 summer@coco:~$
It really is quite easy, I did it with RHL 7.3. I haf incoming fax, data (minicom etc) and ppp. I didn't manage to get the voice working though.
