Description: Smart Modem getty replacement
 Mgetty is a versatile program to handle all aspects
of a modem under Unix.
 .
 The program 'mgetty' allows you to use a modem for
handling external
 logins, receiving faxes and using the modem as a
answering machine without
 interfering with outgoing calls.
 .
 This package includes basic modem data capabilities.
Install mgetty-fax to
 get the additional functionality for fax. Install
mgetty-voice to get the
 functionality to operate voice modems.
 .
 Mgetty is also configurable to select programs other
than login for special
 connections (eg: uucico, fido or other programs)
depending on the login
 userid. It also supports caller-id if the modem and
phone line supply it,
 and -----> can deny connections based on originating
telephone number. <--------
