Is there a possibility to use the serial port that already is used by
getty? The reason for this is as follows:
I am running a small busybox based system that has a modem attached to
one of its serial ports and a getty to process dialin access to the
machine. Another program is intended to dial a special telephone number
if an alarm condition exists. But if getty is running the serial device
is locked and therfore no access to the modem is possible even if getty
is idle waiting for a call.
Is there any solution for this? Do I need to use mgetty instead?
I am running getty from /etc/inittab with respawn.
