[ale] Respawning to quick FIXED!



I found the solution and thought I'd share it for those who may need it.


 Mgetty was sending a string of Hayes compatible commands to the   
BitSurfer.  I had to start from scratch and compile Mgetty all over   
again!  After going through the mgetty log in /tmp I found a BUNCH of   
errors.  It was trying to init the Bitsurfer as a Fax Modem and also   
sending it the additional strings I mentioned above.

The solution was to edit the source file policy.h  I changed the init to   
the init string I need to MUX the lines with on the Bitsurfer.  I turned   
all fax capabilities off and set the init speed at 115200 in the policy.h   
file.  I also added the -D switch to Mgetty in the inittab file.

I did a make, make install, manually copied a few files and shazam!  It   
works again.
