[comp.dcom.modems] NEC N9631 modem and Suns

robelr@ucs.indiana.edu (Allen Robel) (05/24/91)

Has anyone had any success with getting a NEC N9631 modem
to work with a Sun Sparc2 or Sparc1+?  We've got one of these
modems connected to each of the above Sparc's and are trying
just to get a tip session happening between the two, then we
hope to move on to PPP.  We've tried both software and hardware
flow control with no luck. stty -a shows that both Sparcs are
set up identically as far as baud, stop bits, data bits and
parity goes.

Tipping from one to the other results in a connection but
we get gibberish instead of a login prompt.  It looks like
what you'd see if the baud rates were set differently but,
scout's honer, they're the same.

Any help or experiences from other NEC users would be much
appreciated!
