You enable it in the ttys file with "... on secure modem shared ...". You verify it with "file /dev/tty??", it says "modem control on" or "modem control off". So now, you have the shared flag for use of the line for both outgoing and incoming calls. ------------------------------- If you connect to the modem with cu, do sth eg. dial out and then quit the cu session --> the modem control is off !! ------------------------------- Now you have to edit ttys and send init a kill -HUP a dozen times `til you finally managed it, to enable modem control again - until the next session with cu. What I wanna know is WHY is it so complicated, HOW can I work around this. It`s also the same w/o the shared flag, that means turn getty on and off for incoming and outgoing connections. I really hate it; pls tell me that I`m doing sth wrong (and what) instead of "you have to live with it, it`s the ugly tty driver". (This occurs under Ultrix 3.1, 4.0 and 4.1 on at least MV2000, MV3900, DSys3100 and DSys5100 at the local 25 pin serial port.) Pls email, I`ll summarize if there is interest. Thank you very much.
