[comp.sys.atari.st] trouble with MT C Shell

rjd@cs.brown.edu (Rob Demillo) (04/09/90)

I just bought a used version of MT C Shell v 1.1. I am having
a bit of trouble that I was hoping someone could help me
out with.

I configure the \etc\ttys file for the modem by doing a
	17tty1:
The result is that when I turn on MT C Shell by doing a
INIT2.PRG, the send-receive lights on the modem go 
nuts, and the hard drive starts accessing like crazy.
(I think MT's version of "getty" is freaking out.) When I 
turn the modem off, this thing settles down and initializes, but
then I cannot dial in to the system. My modem answers the phone, but 
does not emit a carrier tone.

Any answers out there?

This is running on a 1 Meg system, which the manual implies is 
just fine. I hope that you are not going to tell me that I need a
memory upgrade.

Its kinda important that I get this working, since this is the
purpose that I bought the shell for in the first place.
SO, if this doesn't work, I am gonn ahave to get a memory
upgrade and get MINIX.
