We have a SUN4/260 running OS 3.5. We had a Hayes Smartmodem 1200 connected to serial port B as dialin/dialout and had no problems. But the problems started when our university went for new digital telophone lines with "Northern Telecom". The new telephone lines made our Hayes modem obselete and we got new modem compatible with the digital lines which is supposed to be Hayes compatible in limited sense. This new modem is a kind of menu driven and sends out a menu like ENTER NUMBER OR H (FOR HELP): h A - AUTO DIAL S - SPEED CALL C - CALL M - MODIFY D - DISPLAY SELECT: We are able to dialout (with some difficulty) but we are not able to enable login on to this line. The problem seems to be following. Moment we enable login, "getty" gets the menu from the modem and detects the carrier and the modem reacts to "getty" with the followig message INVALID COMMAND/ENTRY REENTER: it seems like they go in an infinite loop and we get a silo overflow message. We tried SUN but no solution. Can somebody out there in the netland help us solve this problem? Thanks in advance.
