[comp.sys.sun] Telebit TB+ question

gilley@mcnc.org (05/10/89)

I'm sure this question has been asked many times before, but I must have
missed the answers.  Does anyone have a successful configuration for
Telebit Trailblazer Plus modem for a SUN3 running SunOS 4.0?  I'm having a
devil of a time getting uucico and tip to accept it.  They keep choking on
the extended RRING code.  Any attempts to shut off extended codes results
in speed fallbacks.  If you think there has been too much news traffic on
this subject, then mail me directly.  Thanks,

Our TB+ is connected to an ALM I port on our 3/280, running OS 4.0.1 + the
serial patch tape (yapt 5.5).  It works great for tip & uucp.  The
settings as reported by "at&n" are:

Hmmm.  We just got our TB+, and are using it on a 3/160 running SunOS 3.3.
With S50=0 and S52=2, it refuses to answer the phone.  I've noticed that
when uucico exits, the DTR light on the front of the TB goes out.  So the
Sun isn't supplying DTR, so the modem won't answer incoming calls.  Right
now I have the modem configured to S50=255, S52=0 (PEP mode only, assume
DTR is always on), so it will answer high-speed calls from uunet.  I would
like to be able to use it for 2400 baud calls as well.  How can I either
make the Trailblazer answer calls with DTR low, or force the Sun 3 to
toggle DTR low when uucico exits, then raise it again?

Any help will be very much appreciated.  I ran into this when uunet informed
me that the modem didn't answer for 24 hours after I installed it.  Sigh.
