    The biggest reason for this is that the echo command register on
    your modem is on. It should be ATE0, not ATE1. This gets getty all
    kinds of confused. Perhaps the DCD lines and DTR lines could be
    checked as well. If you need more help, e-mail me and I'll see what 
    I can do.

   FAS will help in a couple of ways not particularly related to this
   problem. It should be installed as a matter of fact.

    I do not know a lot about this one. I've got vpix installed with NFS
    though. I do have tcp/ip installed however ..
