I've been trying to connect a US Robotics 2400e to our Sun 4/280 and can't seem to get the proper configuration. Hopefully someone has run into this situation before and can help me out. I have the modem connected to ttyb on the machine. The modem is connected to the port with a straight cable supporting lines 1-8, 20, and 22. When I dial into the modem I see the SD an RD light blink rapidely and then the modem hangs up. The interesting thing is if I reverse lines 2 and 3 the same proceedure results in a CONNECT 2400 message. If I now flip the switch so that 2 and 3 are no longer reversed I get a login prompt and all is well. I've tried calling the technical support department for USR but all I seem to get is a busy signal.
