I am trying to define a fairly painless way for users to dial out to a software vendor bbs from a Sun 4. I am using a US Robotics Courier V.32 in hayes mode.
I have defined the "system" in the /etc/remote file including the phone number.
The entry looks like this:
bbs:dv=/dev/cua0:br#9600:pn=5551212:\
:el=^D^U^C^S^Q^O@:du:at=hayes:ie=#$%:oe=^D:
When I "tip" to the bbs (e.g. % tip bbs) the modem dials, connects, modulates and synchronizes and then I get: call failed
and my modem promptly hangs up (drops the connection).
I can tip to that port and manually dial and connect without any problems
so I believe it has something to do with tip.
Any help would be appreciated.
