I have just upgraded a stand-alone DN3000 to SR10.1 and was that fun! Now I find that not only doesn't Kermit (4E.070) not run (it has to be recompiled as if for BSD4.2), but I cant get the getty process to handle my Hayes 2400 bd modem. Any suggestions on: 1) what device type from /etc/gettytab should I specify in the /dev/tty01 entry in /etc/ttys for the Hayes 2400B smartmodem. 2) what commands should I issue to the modem to set it up properly for logins. (This is the modem without switches! It has to be set up by issuing AT commands ). So far I have not been able to get the modem to stay online. I hangs up the line as soon as I log in. Also, is there anything special about an account in the registry that permits it to log into the system? None of this is clearly described in the apollo documentation for 10.1 Any help will be greatly appreciated. I've wasted too much time on all this....!

Well, the troubles I was having trying to enable logins on SR10.1 (BSD) went away when I changed the /etc/ttys definition of the dialup line from the default tty01 to sio1 . This was suggested by a comp.sys.apollo reader (whose name I have unfortunatly forgotten in my excitement). One syndrome that I encountered that was fixed by this change was the inability to change the backspace/erase character. The terminal would not respond to any change via stty or tset, and it seemed there was no way to get the terminal to reconginze backspace or delete. Changing the name of the dialup to sio1 fixed allthis. I assume the problem lies somewhere deep in getty that is looking at the device name and only recognizes sio1 and not any of the tty lines. I called 800-2apollo about this and got no positive response, only mild disbelief. Thanks again to our informant, who should identify himself here. Its amazing how much accumulated knowledge is out there! -- ...Richard Friedman rchrd@well.uucp (Pacific-Sierra Research/Berkeley, CA.) also: {lll-crg,pacbell,hplabs}!well!rchrd

------------Response 5/17/89 -------------------------- If what you say is really true...then I feel braindead! I have been trading phone calls for months with 1-800 on this problem (but they stopped returning them a long time ago!). They said they were going to hook up a PC with vt100 emulation and a modem and test this, but I don't think they ever did. I never thought to try sio1. In fact, I brought the problem up with this group, but none of the suggestions worked. So I chalked the problem up to my own ignorance. This means my users will quit creating foo.foo?????????? files in their directories which they don't know how to rename or delete. Write an APR on this!

Done APR#0852D390 was sent 17 May indicating that etc/ttys must use sio1 etc rather than tty01 for logins to work properly on 10.1 -- ...Richard Friedman rchrd@well.uucp (Pacific-Sierra Research/Berkeley, CA.) also: {lll-crg,pacbell,hplabs}!well!rchrd

I've used tty01 without any problem on my 4000 (and on other nodes like 3000's). The only difference I have seen is that the tty0x devices REQUIRE carrier detect to be (true/high/active) in order for getty's open(2) to complete. I actually needed a REAL modem eliminator cable, and not just the cheap'n'dirty 2-3-7-20. I'll be very surprised if your assertion (above) is true. It is possible that a problem might exist on a specific hardware platform. ...walt... -- Walt Weber Apollo Computer (508) 256-6600 x8315 People's Republic of Massachusetts -The views expressed herein are personal, and not binding on Apollo-
