Dear Netlanders: I am having a problem with my modem. I am running SCO Xenix 2.2.3 on an IBM/AT clone. I have had the Computone Advantage-X 8 port serial port board installed for almost 1 year, now. I recently switched my Telebit Trailblazer+ from /dev/tty1A to /dev/ttym7 in order to improve system performance. BTW, the computone serial ports are addressed as ttya0 ... ttya7 -- ttym7 is the modem controlled device corresponding to /dev/ttya7. All was fine for about 1 week. Until last night... I had a failed uucp communication during a news transfer, and the system re-enabled the modem, as it should have. When I attempted to dial out this morning, I couldn't connect properly with the modem. When I did a ps -ale, I saw the following: F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN TTY TIME CMD 101 S 0 1739 1 0 28 20 a11 15 b194 m7 0:02 getty as part of the display. All along, when the modem was enabled, the TTY would read ?, rather than m7. I attempted the following: 1. Disabling, and re-enabling the port -- no luck. 2. Disabling the port, doing a reboot, and enabling the port after the system comes back up -- no luck here either. 3. Disabling the port, editing the /etc/ttys file to make ttym7 look enabled, so the computer would enable it as it brings Xenix back up -- no dice. 4. Switching the modem to a different port (ttym6) and enabling the port -- now I get a getty on m6... 5. Running /usr/lib/uucp/ungetty -r /dev/ttym7 -- no luck. Does anyone out there have any ideas as to what may be causing my problem, and any possible solutions? This is really making me nuts! Please respond via E-mail since I don't see this as being of general interest. I would truly appreciate any suggestions, and as always, thanks in advance {8^). -- _ _ _ () Marc Snyder ' ) ) ) /\ / Independent Systems Analyst / / / __. __ _. / ) __ , , __/ _ __ / Consultant / ' (_(_(_/ (_(__ /__/__/) )_(_/_(_(_(<_/ (_ Elmsford, New York / ' UUCP: ...{philabs,hombre}!crpmks!crplabs!wizkid!root Home: 914.592.5234 ...gaboon!crpmks!crplabs!wizkid!root Work: 800.431.1874 x2924
