  Hints
 -------

The number of bug reports has drastically decreased, so either all people
gave up or there are not so many bugs left. For those, who start with
vgetty, please read the file Readme.Beginners very careful. If you mail me a
question, that is answered there, in the mgetty FAQ or the mgetty mailing
list archive, I'm probably not going to answer your mail.

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 frontend called PalMail, that is not yet included in mgetty,
but it will in the near future. For more details see the WWW-page:
http://www.bauwesen.uni-dortmund.de/~bandelow/

If you have problems, feel free to write me a mail. I'm always very busy, so
it might take a while until you receive a reply from me. If you don't get
one within 14 days, something went wrong and you should try again.

Vgetty is currently developed and maintained by

with help from many other people. See the Credits file for details.
