Hi, Ramon;

	You misunderstand, the /etc/event.d/ttyS0, which was to be created and 
populated with the following (it is Debian specific - I think):

start on runlevel 2
start on runlevel 3
start on runlevel 4
start on runlevel 5
stop on runlevel 0
stop on runlevel 1
stop on runlevel 6
respawn
exec /usr/sbin/faxgetty ttyS0

was not magic - more like witchcraft or voodoo or something.  Everything 
stopped working.  I deleted the file I was instructed to create then 
everything returned to normal.  Just goes to show that, if it ain't 
broke, don't fix it.... even if the instructions say you got it wrong.

The point I was trying to make is that, as far as I know, I do not have 
anything about respawning faxgetty anywhere on my system including 
/etc/initab.  It has been only recently that I could find faxgetty 
listed using ps -A.  Is it supposed to be that way?  I have no idea. 
What starts faxgetty?  I have no clue but my setup works.

Best regards,
	Dennis
