   Hello again g00r00!   
      
   The FSED launched its menu when I pasted /sbin... in a path, so accidentally   
   sent (S) it... :-D   
      
   On 21 Aug 2021, Bj”rn Wiberg said the following...   
    BW> socat STDIO,icanon=0,min=1,time=0   
    BW> PTY,link=/dev/fakemodem,rawer,hupcl,crtscts   
    BW>    
    BW> ...and then run mgetty like:   
      
   /sbin/mgetty fakemodem   
      
   By answering OK to the mgetty modem initializations, then simulating RINGs   
   etc., one can make mgetty believe it is talking to a modem (although it is   
   not) and have it establish a "connection".   
      
   (I haven't tested this particular example, though.)   
      
   Best regards   
   Bj”rn
