 VGETTY README
 -------------

This is yet another vgetty test release. Be careful, as always...

The hardware driver for Sierra Semiconductor modems is still missing. I
don't own one, so I can't write this driver myself. Writing this driver
takes about one day for a fairly good programmer, so if you feel
adventureous... go ahead!

If you have problems with playing or recording messages with your local
telephone, you might be interested in the ZyXEL switch box. This box is
useful for modems, that do not provide power for a telephone connected to
the modem. With this switch box you can record and play messages with your
local telephone. To record and play messages, use vm with the -t option to
tell the modem to use the telco line.

There is also a new frontend called PalMail, that is not yet included in
mgetty, but it will in the near future. For more details see the WWW-page:

Vgetty is currently developed and maintained by
