I have had a couple of request for the "small bugs" that I have found in the Intellicom board. Well, as advertised the board will interleave local printing and keystrokes. It doesn't and to be honest I had my doubts about it working. It's not that big a deal, but would have been nice. On the other hand, when running modems if you are using 2400b modems for users to dialin. Once someone calls in at 1200b the board is also set for 1200, it will not cycle back to 2400b. Might be a bug in the driver code here. There is a new version of th driver but I haven't seen it yet. And yes getty is setup right. As far as running terminals hardwired I have had no problems. I like the way it performs. Tony Holden ihnp4!killer!tony

It turns out that the problem was caused by the modem getting 'stuck' at 1200 baud. The way this happens is that if the remote system disconnects before Xenix finishes sending stuff, the modem thinks you are sending it commands at 1200 baud. The only way to get it back to 2400 baud is send it commands at 2400 baud. I don't have a clean solution here. What I do is run a script off cron each hour that disables the port, sends some AT stuff to the modem at 2400 baud and enables it again. Any better ideas would be appreciated. -- Phil Hughes, SSC, Inc. P.O. Box 55549, Seattle, WA 98155 (206)FOR-UNIX ...!uw-beaver!tikal!ssc!fyl
