[comp.unix.ultrix] modem dial in AND out possible under Ultrix?

Hi,

I want to configure a MVAX II serial port for modem communication.
It should be possible to dial-in and to dial-out on the same serial
port.

I'm running Ultrix V2.2, the Modem is an ELSA Smart Box 2.

With SunOS this is possible by having 2 devices with the minor device
number of the incoming device set to  the minor device number of the out-
going device plus 128. Is something similar possible under Ultrix ?

Thanks in advance

It is very easy under ULTRIX.  Just add "shared" to the appropriate lines
of your /etc/ttys file.  We do this on DECUAC --

ttyd0	"/etc/getty d1200" dialup	on shared modem	# dialup connect
ttyd1	"/etc/getty H2400" dialup	on shared modem	# dialup connect
ttyd2	"/etc/getty H2400" dialup	on shared modem	# dialup connect
ttyd3	"/etc/getty H2400" dialup	on shared modem	# dialup connect


I am real sure that this feature was added before version 2.2 which is
what you are running.  (current release is 3.1.)  But it is 2 A.M.
