Default Re: Dialer Failed Error on tty2a I/O Error 5

Mike typed (on Tue, Aug 19, 2003 at 10:16:29AM -0700):
| Hello,
| I have a SCO OS 5.05 server with a modem to allow dial-in access for
| people off-site. Recently, it is acting up and not remaining enabled.
| The console message is as follows:
|
| "Dialer failed on /etc/getty/tty2a I/O Error 5"
|
| If I go in and "enable tty2a", this corrects the problem temporarily
| but it keeps disabling itself again.
|
| I've been looking through my manuals here and googling like crazy to
| find out what that exactly means but I've had no luck so far.
|
| Does anyone know what that means and/or how to go about fixing that?

tty2a is NOT for a modem; it's for a terminal. tty2A is for a modem.
