I am attempting to connect a hayes 2400 baud modem to a modem port on a hp9000 (the modem board number is 27140, 6 channels) model 500. I am running hp-ux . I can dial up from another modem and the 2 modems connect but I can't get a login prompt. Has someone out there done this before? I known about setting the parameters within the hayes modem not to send out result codes. I am particularly interested in the pin out on the cable and the entries used in /etc/gettydefs . I eventually plan to use this modem with uucp so any hints about hp-ux uucp quirks would also be appreciated. Thanks for the assistance Mike Eklund Electrical Engineering Dept University of Washington (206) 543-8984 eklund@uw-dtrl.ee.washington.edu

Are you using a 92219Q cable between the patch panel and the modem? This cable has unusual pinouts, necessary to change what is normally a DCE connection at the panel into a full DTE connection at the modem. > I eventually plan to use this modem with uucp so any hints about hp-ux uucp > quirks would also be appreciated. Thanks for the assistance The Hayes 2400 is not "Hayes Compatible". This is no joke. The 2400 does not have switches, and the command set was "improved" from the 1200. The 2400 baud modem we suggest for use on the Series 500 is the U.S. Robotics Courier 2400, which IS Hayes compatible. Nonetheless... I am told that the Hayes 2400 can be made to work with the HP-UX dialit.c routine, if some changes are made. I am mailing you a copy of those changes. One of the systems I manage is a Series 500 system with modems on it. Here are the relevant sample details of that configuration. Some of this is sloppy, but this system is little used and about to be shut down. /etc/inittab d1:2:respawn:/etc/getty ttyd1 X 180 ;# Modem (USR2400) d2:2:respawn:/etc/getty ttyd2 X 180 ;# Modem (USR2400) d3:2:respawn:/etc/getty ttyd3 U 180 ;# Modem (HP 37212A) /etc/gettydefs 0# B300 SANE CS8 # B300 SANE CS8 IXANY #login: #U U# B1200 SANE CS8 # B1200 SANE CS8 IXANY #login: #0 Y# B1200 SANE CS8 # B1200 SANE CS8 IXANY #login: #X X# B2400 SANE CS8 # B2400 SANE CS8 IXANY #login: #Y ll /dev/*d1 /dev/*2 /dev/*3 crw-rw-rw- 1 root other 29 0x0e0001 Jul 1 1987 /dev/cuad1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root other 29 0x0e0101 Jul 1 1987 /dev/cuad2 crw-rw-rw- 1 root other 29 0x0e0201 Jul 1 1987 /dev/cuad3 crw-rw-rw- 1 root other 29 0x0e0001 Jul 1 1987 /dev/culd1 crw-rw-rw- 1 root other 29 0x0e0101 Jul 1 1987 /dev/culd2 crw-rw-rw- 1 root other 29 0x0e0201 Jul 1 1987 /dev/culd3 crw--w--w- 1 root other 29 0x0e0000 Jul 1 1987 /dev/ttyd1 crw--w--w- 1 root crm 29 0x0e0100 Aug 17 1987 /dev/ttyd2 crw--w--w- 1 root other 29 0x0e0200 Jan 27 02:22 /dev/ttyd3 /usr/lib/uucp/L-devices DIR culd1 0 2400 ACUHP92205A culd1 cuad1 2400 DIR culd3 0 1200 ACUHP37212A culd3 cuad3 1200 DIR culd1 0 1200 ACUHP92205A culd1 cuad1 1200 /usr/lib/uucp/L.cmds rmail pr col lp lpr /usr/lib/uucp/L.sys <heavily edited> hpxyzzy Any,5 ACUHP37212A 1200 2263800 "" @@ gin:-BREAK-gin:-@-gin:-BREAK-gin:-@-gin:-BREAK-gin:-@-gin: hpmine ssword: joshua hpxyzzy Any,5 ACUHP92205A 1200 2263800 "" @@ gin:-BREAK-gin:-@-gin:-BREAK-gin:-@-gin:-BREAK-gin:-@-gin: hpmine ssword: joshua /usr/lib/uucp/USERFILE hpxyzzy,hpxyzzy / uucp, / , / Regards, Hewlett-Packard Bob Niland 3404 East Harmony Road ARPA:rjn%hpfcrjn@hplabs.HP.COM Fort Collins UUCP:[ihnp4|hplabs]!hpfcla!rjn CO 80525
