About a month ago, Eric (eric@snark.uucp) posting a *very* thorough article on setting up a Telebit TB. I have set up our modems with essentially the same configurations as Eric has suggested. When the telebit was on our Microport 2.4 system, everything was just peachy. We could call our news feed, our users could call in to us. All on the same line. We have recently upgraded our system to a 386/ix system. We can still dialout okay, but incoming calls don't work. The telebit will only answer incoming calls if DTR is asserted. When getty starts up, it asserts DTR and the modem will answer. But then uucico calls out and when it is done, it drops DTR to drop the line. At this time, getty will not reassert the DTR line, so the modem will not answer anymore. 1. I could set up the modem to ignore DTR, but I think this is not a good answer. 2. Can the DTR line be reasserted? 3. Could it be the driver that came with our smart card? (Intellicon-8) 4. HELP?!? Details if they are any value... uucico calls out on tty4g /etc/getty respawns on tty4G I tried /usr/lib/uucp/uugetty, but it was no better I tried both getty's on tty4g, but it was no better ISC 386/ix 1.0.6 Intellicon-8 smart card driver version 1.02.1 Regards, Larry -- Larry Williamson -- Focus Systems -- Waterloo, Ontario watmath!focsys!larry (519) 746-4918

I don't have a telebit, but I just recently experienced this problem with a vanilla 2400 baud modem I was setting up on someone's machine. His machine had the same problem--everything worked but when uucico was done for some reason it wasn't calling ungetty to wake login up. I tried uucico with -x9 and found that when the call was done, uucico wanted to send some more Hayes codes to the modem. It was waiting for the "OK" back from the modem, but since we had disabled result codes it was timing out. Unfortunately, it barfed and never called ungetty. The fix was to configure the modem to send the result codes. The modem should not echo the command strings you send it, however. Rich Skrenta
