Here is an interesting problem that has me stumped.
I was helping a friend correct problems with a Tandy 4000 running
SCO XENIX 386 2.2.x. We put a Tandy 1200 baud internal Hayes AT
command set compatible ( I know :-) in as COM1 tty1A CD forced.
It dials out to my 286 box with Microport System V/AT 2.2.0 and I
can login to my system and verify it works. I set up a shell
script for them to invoke cu and tee the output of a login to a
remote site to a file and save the session.
That works fine, but when I try to login to the 386 from my 286
I get the xenix386:login: prompt and type in the login name
THEN it comes back with garbage ( well actually it is consistant)
so I guess it is the password prompt. This problem is
made more interesting by the fact that if I invoke UUCP from my 286
to the 386 it completes fine and the files I wanted to cu and %take
are fine, UUCP has connected fine 3 times no problem. If I attempt
to login using cu like I said above I get the login, and if I hit
enter several times I keep getting the login prompt so I don't think
the modem is shifting speeds on me.
I haven't been back to the office the computer is in to open it up
and play with the switch settings, the only one I could play with is
the CD forced/not forced switch though, the others are for NEVER
ANSWER and COM1/COM2. There is an Arnet Smartport 8 on COM2 side.
Any ideas folks?

-=>After logging onto xenix (386) garbage is returned....
In the /etc/gettydefs file...It has the ability to change the protocall
baud and other neet stuff to screw up a terminal...
Check that the baud is the same in the entire line.
Each seprator in a getty line means the nect step of the login....
i.e. the first is the login message.. the second is after you have
logged in.. and the third is when you hangup....
I'll get more info about this in a day or so........
But this is a place to start...
