I'm having some trouble getting consistent results when trying to get a
modem off a Sun 3/80 (as well as one off of a 3/260) to be used for
dial-in. Here's the poop:
Sun 3/80, modem on /dev/ttya, ttytab entry sez:
ttya "/usr/etc/getty d19200" dialin on remote
and gettytab sez:
# Put :ms=crtscts,-ixon,-ixoff for binary xfr and emacs 12/28/90 tom
d19200|Dial-19200:\
:ms=crtscts,-ixon,-ixoff:nx=d1200:fd#1:sp#19200:
The modem is a Microcom AX/9600 Plus (MNP Class 6).
Symptoms are that garbage greets the person calling in, but not every
time. I also have a 3/260 with a Multitech V32 modem on /dev/ttya, and I
rebuilt the kernel to allow for this. It worked for awhile, but on
occasion I get receive and transmit lights on the modem flashing
continuously, apparently forever ('til I reset the modem).
ttytab:
ttya "/usr/etc/getty d9600" dialin on secure
gettytab file isn't clear to me (I don't have a d9600 entry--is this a
prlblem?). I would also like to do this on a SPARCstation at some point.
I guess what I would *really* like is a one-page summary on how to do
this, in general. The manuals seem to be antiquated in this particular
area... If you can email me your replies, I'll post a summary which will
hopefully be what I wanted in the first place.
Thanks in advance!
