I've been trying to get our indial lines to work on a round robin set of
baud rates, (9600, 1200, 2400, 19200) and haven't been having any luck.
I've been using the gettytab entries below, with the /etc/ttys entries
set to begin with 1V. It appears I can get most any individual speed to
work just fine, but I can't seem to get the init/getty to notice a break
and move to the next table. These entries work exactly right on a Sun,
and I don't see anything that's against TFM. Anyone out there done this,
and if so, is there something I'm missing? Any help would be appreciated.
Gettytab entries are:
T|C1200:\
:nx=C2400:fd#1:sp#1200:ht:
U|C2400:\
:nx=C19200:sp#2400:ht:
V|C9600:\
:nx=C1200:sp#9600:ht:
W|C19200:\
:nx=C9600:sp#19200:ht:

Same here. Never did get it to work. It's been awhile, but I seem to remember that successive BREAK commands would cycle up through the baud rates, but as soon as it got to 9600 (or was it 19200?) it would stick. Personally, I think it's a problem with the Systeks. If you're trying to interface your tty lines to Telebits, try locking the interface speed at 9600 (if data integrity is a must) or 19200 (if you don't mind a few dropped characters). Ron -- Ronald O.

Anyone out there done this, [details of what I tried omitted] Since posting, I've recieved a note from a person at Sequent and have talked to them on the phone. It appears this is a known bug, but get this - THERE'S A KNOWN FIX! I know, I know, no big deal to many of you, but with the frustrations those of us in multi-vendor sites often experience, its really nice to come across this occasionally. Anyhow, there's a fix tape on the way. As an nice side note, while discussing the problem with the person from Sequent, we were able to also bring up and handle a few other issues that I wasn't real sure about in their implementation. In the whole discussion, I never got the feeling that the person was trying to just shunt me off and move on, but instead felt that the issue to me and to them was to get the problems resolved. Nice to run into.
