I would like to thank all the people who have
so promptly and accurately answered my questions.
I have one more: how can one set up SCO Xenix to
accept incoming calls at variable baud rates (300-1200-2400)?
I'm using a MNP Practical Peripherals 2400 baud modem.
Thanks again.

This is fine but also you should tell callers that they need to use break to get the right baudrate. If you are getting garbage character, you are in wrong baudrate and press break to allow getty to go to another line of gettydefs. Be sure to check your /etc/gettydefs on correct baudrate. I used ctl-END in Telix to send break and also use F11 in DEC vt100 monitor will do this. Just look up communication doc or online help. This apply to Xenix and older Unix. New SCO Unix 3.2 and Interactive don't need break signal at all. willy - -- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Willy Paine BBS/FAX +1-206-822-4615 % % willyp@seaeast.WA.COM FidoNet 1:343/15 % % uunet!nwnexus!seaeast!willyp fungus.dnet.dec.com!paine % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % It takes less time to do a thing right than to explain % % why you did it wrong - Longfellow. % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Be sure to check your /etc/gettydefs on Unless the host is using a high speed modem. On my modems (2 Hayes V-Series V.42, USR HST 14.4 kb carrier & Telebit T2000) I lock the ports at 19,200 baud and don't use a rotating gettdefs - but let the modem do the "downshifting".

The only problem with this is if you try to do downloading from the Unix box to the other end using Z-modem. Z-modem is a streaming protocol, and it dumps data as fast as it can, assuming that it was all received correctly until it receives some sort of NAK. Unless the hardware flow control is working perfectly, you will overflow the modem's buffer and lose data. I had this experience, and finally changed the system to use a rotating gettydefs, but I have a special program running that autobauds, so all the caller has to do is to press return a few times and the system will find the right baud rate.

I got Telebit and Hayes 2400 working and I want HST DS to replace Hayes 2400 very badly but I did not get good complete information on Dialers, Device, gettydefs and HST NRAM. I plan to use HST on incomming calling (dial-in) only but HST is still not being able to answer any call. Can you please send me a personal email on this setting?
