outdial failure.

dewey@sequoia.execu.com (Dewey Henize) (10/24/90)

I tried Sun hotline on this, but no help..

Anyone besides me having trouble with using a TB2500 for both indial and
outdial on a Sun 3/280?

I have this setup (below) and it ends up that I have to reboot every couple
of days to clear the damned serial ports.  I can still dial out, but nada
happens on dialin.  After a reboot (or changing to another port), things
will work for a while.  I'll see a line like:
	7570 ?  IW    0:00 - std.19200 ttyb (getty)
in a 'ps ax' listing.  After a while (several calls, not just one [usually])
things get into this state:
	9570 b  IW    0:00 - std.19200 ttyb (getty)
and things are gone forever.  Sometimes I can get it back if I change the
ttytab entry from on to off and do a 'kill -HUP 1' and then change it back
and repeat, but this isn't reliable.  Usually I get the getty hung in an
<exiting> state, as:
	 5244 ?  I     0:00 <exiting>
where nothing short of a reboot will clear it.

Setup follows:

Any help would be appreciated.

	Dew,
		I would set S51=5 (19200) or S51=4 (9600) with
	S66=1.  I would not run in autobaud with a getty on the
	SIO port.  Also, don't use a rotary on your getty.  This
	may be part of the problem.  I have not had much success
	getting a dial-in/out SIO port to work on a Sun3 with
	SunOS 4.0.3c.  A getty battle usually occurs which sets
	of the modem into a catatonic state or permissions/
	ownership of the port device changes, sending the system
	into a LCK state.  For the best performance, I am after
	trying this application with a KNOWN GOOD uugetty which
	will run in SunOS.  Good Luck!
