Fedora Core 3: FEDORA-2005-630 Critical: mgetty Modem Issue

fedora
Calendar Grey July 22, 2005
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora Core 3 mgetty is now available with enhancements for better performance and stability in dial-in services and fax operations, upgrade now for security
Updated package.

Summary

The mgetty package contains a "smart" getty which allows logins over a

serial line (i.e., through a modem). If you are using a Class 2 or 2.0

modem, mgetty can receive faxes. If you also need to send faxes,

you need to install the sendfax program.

If you plan to dial in to your system using a modem, you should

install the mgetty package. If you want to send faxes using mgetty and

your modem, you need to install the mgetty-sendfax program. If you

need a viewer for faxes, you also need to install the mgetty-viewfax

package.
