Can someone help a friend of mine with problems he is having with getting a modem working with ST minix - he's driving me crazy with bad luck stories of not getting minix working ! I have managed to guide him through the 1.3 -> 1.5.10 -> 1.5.10.3 upgrade, getting Minix to recognise his Supra hard disk, getting root mounted as /dev/hd2 and finally recognising his modem as /dev/tty2. I'm stuck at the final hurdle ! When he connects a terminal to the RS232 port it works OK but when he puts a modem on, the modem answers OK and then hangs up straight away. I think this may be due to getty sending the device a 'reset' type of signal which hangs up the modem but I'm not really sure. I know that there are BBS's running minix OK so I *know* it is possible - someone help before he drives me up the wall ! Cheers, Geoffrey -- are you ready to SKYDIVE ?? Geoffrey Coan well all right then, if you say so ... ..!ukc!axion!tharr!zebedee!geoffc <- UUCP'd from my ST via tharr; *free* UK public access to Usenet 0234 841503 ->
