The kicker is you have to tell the system you have a phone line plugged into the second phone port, and you are using it for 'data' communications (even if you want to use it for voice calls occasionally). If you have the phone manager running, and make this change, you'll see the top line change from VOICE2: IDLE to DATA or something like that. Log out and the system should happily start a getty (or uugetty) on the port. +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Dave Shevett ~----------------------~ Labyrinth II BBS | | W.

From there, you can set up the obm, On-Board-Modem. Tell the form what line you have a line on, and what line you have a phone on, etc... From there, the system should update your /etc/inittab so that a getty will be fired up on ph0 when the system boots up. This should allow your modem to auto-answer. Note: There should be a line in /etc/inittab that looks like so: ph0:2:respawn:/etc/getty ph0 1200 It should not look like so: :ph0:2:respawn:/etc/getty ph0 1200 The ':' at the begging of the line is like a remark. The note at the top of /etc/inittab says not to edit this file because it is program-modified. I have installed a different getty on my Unix-pc for the RS-232 port, and it works fine. I had to edit /etc/inittab with 'vi', but I had some advice before doing so. -Ralph I hope this helps...

Log out -and the system should happily start a getty (or uugetty) on the port. - Not neccessary. Configure the one and only line as VOICE. Then use the 'phtoggle' command to toggle between DATA (auto-answer) and VOICE mode. I use a cron job to toggle my machine into DATA at 9:00 AM and back to VOICE at 5:00 PM. This way I can get my usenet feed during the day while I'm at work, and still use the phone for voice call when I'm at home (if a salesman calls while I'm at work, let him eat carrier ;-). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Jespersen UUCP: uunet!attcan!hjespers AT&T Canada Inc. or ..!attcan!nebulus!arakis!hans Toronto, Ontario #include <std.disclaimer>

I can't find it anywhere, however. Is phtoggle part of the 3.5 --> 3.51 upgrade kit? I'd sure like to be able to switch this machine in and out of auto-answer with the crontab. I know it's been posted in the past, but now that I've got 3.5, would someone mail me the list of changes between it and 3.51? Also, how does one upgrade to 3.51 from 3.5, and how much does it cost?
