[comp.unix.xenix] Modem won't reset

asst-jos@yetti.UUCP (Jonathan) (12/15/89)

A friend at a college here in Toronto is running into a problem with
their modem.  They have SCO Xenix 2.2.3 on a 286 and a Hayes compatible
2400 baud modem.  They have it connected to tty1A (or COM1, in DOS terms)

The problem is that (after a reboot) the first caller gets in just fine, 
but no callers can get in after.  I had him look at the processes attached
to tty1A, and instead of running getty it was running 'login logio'.  I
then had try to kill the procoess (kill -9 ..) but the login just restarted.
Then I had him try "% disable tty1A and %kill -9 .." but it only getsrid
of the login sometimes.  When it did work, I had him talk to the modem
directly with %cu -ltty1A dir, then had hime dial a nuimber and
hang up.  This seemed to work.  I guess the program (dialHA24.c) resets
the modem somehow.  Unfortunately, this is not a good way to deal
with it.  ANy ideas on how to fix it? I am at a loss.  My best guess
is that the settings of the line are wrong.  What should they be? (ie what
should %stty </dev/tty1A  return?
