I am trying to set up a modem in 386 Xenix on a Compaq 386. I use a db9-db25 converter, a gender changer, and a hayes 2400. I get a "No Devices Available" when trying to cu -l. I tried stty options > /dev/tty1a and the terminal I'm on hangs. Any ideas? I guess I'm more familiar with Unix V 3.2. Joe Heneghan att!ihlpl!heneghan

I guess I'm more familiar with Unix V 3.2. "386 Xenix", yousay. Whose? Under SCO, tty1A and tty1a are the same port, but the upper case letter is used for a modem control line. stty < /dev/tty1a will give you the settings of /dev/tty1a, if it's alive; if it isn't running anything, then it will not exactly "hang" your terminal, but just sit there doing nothing until you hit BREAK. The stty grammar is strange, because is you don't want to read the settings of tty1a, but rather change them, you still use the '<', not the '>'. stty xon xoff </dev/tty1a would _set_ xon and xoff on tty1a. But stty > /dev/tty1a would send your current tty's settings to tty1a, assuming there's anything happening there to receive the message. -- Jean-Pierre Radley jpr@jpradley.uucp New York, NY 72160.1341@compuserve.com

I suggest you first get on of those $6 doodads with the lights and plug it in.
Then look at the Devices file to see if tty1a is listed as a device to be used,
which is, i think, the source of the above message. Then noodle around, noting
when you seem to get a DTR signal on the modem line. Beyond that, its a
black art which cannot be taught remotely. (or remotely taught)
