Hello again! I'm still trying to figure out what to do to get "tip" to interact with my modem. Anyone who knows how to configure things for tip, please email me! Here's how far I got: After consulting some with the DEC people, I bought a cable and an adaptor (supposedly rs232, but having only pins 2, 3, 6, 7, & 20) from them, which they said would connect my Hayes-compatible modem to my ds3100. They did suggest, however, that I might have "limited modem control," meaning that I might have to use the phone to actually do the dialling. However, I looked in /etc/acucap and found an entry for a hayes modem. So I plugged everything in, ran uucpsetup (which announced it had put the modem at ttyd1), put an entry in /etc/remote for "elvex" (the place I want to dial in to), and then tried "tip elvex." The response I got was "All ports in use." Then I tried setting the device field (:dv=:) in /etc/remote to /dev/ttyd0 (which the ttys file indicated as another modem device) and tried "tip elvex" again. This time it responded with "dialling..." and about 10 seconds later gave me a Segmentation fault. The data transmit and receive lights on my modem were flashing madly at this point, making me think that the problem is not just low voltages. Can anybody explain this to me? Is this all a result of having "limited modem control," or am I also screwing something else up? Thanks!
