I am relatively new to Unix and would appreciate help with the following
problem(s).
I am running ISC 386ix. I am trying to install a 2400 baud Hayes
compatible modem.
1. When using ttymgmt, and installing the modem on tty00 the lights
flash and I eventually get a 'init: getty respawning two rapidly'
error.
2. I uninstalled the modem, and now Vpix gives an 'Error
opening Serial Device' (the modem worked fine under Vpix before
using ttymgmt). I made sure that inittab has been unchanged.
What does ttymgmt change other then inittab?
3. Must I have a getty process associated with the modem (to use
'cu', for example)? Can I use cu to access local DOS BBS's?
4. I also have a standard IBM Computer Printer. Whenever I turn
the printer on, or boot Unix with the printer on, Unix reboots
itself.
Thanks for any enlightenment.
