Could some kind soul out there explain to me how I can get out Harris HCX-9 running 4.3 BSD to call my modem at home and give me a login prompt? I can get the modem to dial out from the mainframe, but if I set up inittab to run a getty on that port, the modem won't recieve the dial-out instructions - they are blocked by 'login'. Ideally, what I think would work is to dial the modem, THEN run getty on the port. The only problem is, when I do that, the modem hangs up. I think this is because the ports default to 9600 baud, and when I set the speed to 1200 to send the dial out commands, then exit, it defaults back to 9600, and then even if getty is run then and switches back to 1200, enough garbage comes down the line to hang the modem. Is there a way to run getty, but somehow block it or suspend it without blocking the read/write capability to the port, so I can send the modem dial-out commands. Or some other way to do what I want, without all this hassle? Thanks in advacnce. Please reply to me directly as I don't normally read these groups. =Steve= Robiner@oberon.usc.edu
