Different ghostscript distributions have different strunctures. If you've
got those ghostscript installations, ignore the error message.

Mandrake. Gack. Ptooeey. Yucko. The line should look more like this,
for RedHat.

	mo:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/faxgetty modem 

Please read the manual page for inittab and compare your entry to
others present there. Substituting /dev/ttyS1 for /dev/modem is OK,
but on most Linux systems /dev/modem is a symbolic link to the
appropriate serial device and all the modem software uses /dev/modem.
