Please HELP!!!. I am borrowing a P.P. 9600SA modem in order to a.) answer some questions and b.) see if 9600 is really worth it. But I cannot get it to operate reliably with SCO UNIX cu and uucp. I did get a connection going once and I was really impressed. Anyway here is how I have it configured. with a line in my /usr/lib/uucp/Devices file that looks like "direct tty1A - 9600 direct" and using "cu -s9600 -ltty1A dir" to talk to the modem, and AT&F&C1&D2 ATS2=128 when I am lucky enough to get this far without the modem echoing back screenfull after screenfull of characters and/or disconnecting I then try ATDT nnnnnnn this resulted in a connection ONCE, every other time it ends up disconnecting after a semmingly random number of high pitched tones. I have RTFM ad-nauseum (both SCO's and P.P's) and am at a standstill right now, to make matters worse the P.P. support people seem unfamilar with UNIX. If someone out there in net-land has been through this with similar hardware *PLEASE HELP* Thanks, ian (uw-beaver!sumax!polari!ian)
