	I think that I found a problem. The only thing that I need now, is what
should I put into egetty, since the file doesn't exist. I suppose that I
should call egetty.pl from egetty with vm shell egetty.pl, but, maybe I
am wrong. Something like:

#!/bin/bash

vm $1 $2

for /bin/egetty won't work. I am using Slackware 10.1 on that machine
with Genius USB Modem (driver puts it on ttySL0). Definitely, the
problem is with egetty.
