Hello again g00r00!

The FSED launched its menu when I pasted /sbin... in a path, so accidentally sent (S) it... :-D

On 21 Aug 2021, Bj”rn Wiberg said the following...
 BW> socat STDIO,icanon=0,min=1,time=0
 BW> PTY,link=/dev/fakemodem,rawer,hupcl,crtscts
 BW> 
 BW> ...and then run mgetty like:

/sbin/mgetty fakemodem

By answering OK to the mgetty modem initializations, then simulating RINGs etc., one can make mgetty believe it is talking to a modem (although it is not) and have it establish a "connection".

(I haven't tested this particular example, though.)

Best regards
Bj”rn
