please add some documentation how to handle more that one modem/mgetty thx
For each modem/device you want to handle just start/enable mgetty@X.service, where X is device which is supposed to be used (ttyS0 or ttACM0 or whatever you need). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I did rpm -U mgetty-1.1.36-84.1.x86_64.rpm * systemctl start mgetty@modem.service -- never returns
$ systemctl enable mgetty@modem.service ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/mgetty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/mgetty@modem.service'
but no mgetty to find with ps
note; i have tested /dev/modem by using minicom, it works
Ah I see, /dev/modem is symlink to /dev/ttyX, but this will not work with unit due to other reasons (feel free to look at unit file) - you should use systemctl start mgetty@ttyX.service. Even if service fails to start, systemctl start mgetty@X.service should (and will) finish after some time (several minutes). After that you can see what happened via "systemctl status mgetty@X.service". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

ttyS6 works for me. Thanks for confirmation, I will request maintenance update.
why is the symlink to /dev/modem a problem ?
There is BindsTo=dev-%i.device in unit file related to device, where /dev/modem is afaik not considered to be device by udev/systemd (although symlink is generated by udev). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
