Hi Raul,

I am prepared to assist as requested as soon as I get this puppy bedded 100%

Here is where I am at after following the instructions on the link provided 
earlier:

I dialup and I get to logging on to network then the mgetty just dies and 
kicks me out of my ssh session.

as you can see
 

[root at chadlap chadley]# ssh preload
root at preload's password:
Last login: Thu Feb 10 18:28:03 2005 from chadlap
[root at preload root]# /sbin/mgetty ttyS0 -D ttyS0 -s 115200
Connection to preload closed.
[root at chadlap chadley]#                         

How can I find out why it is dying on me and kicking me out of the ssh 
session?

I presume it has to do with the authentication but I can't seem to get it to 
authenticate.

I have allowed ppp0 on my firewall and I have also set a passwd for a user 
copied from the example also ppp

please could some-one more knowledgeable help out here!
