I'm experiencing problems with hooking a modem up to a VAXstation 3100 Model 30 to allow dialups. I'm using a MMJ to 25pin female connector (DEC part H8571-A) and a BC16E cable to connect the communications port of the VAXstation to a Supra 2400 baud modem which supports AT command set. The force DSR on attribute was turned off for the modem, as specified by the VAXstation 3100 manual. On the software end, I modified the following line to the /etc/ttys file: tty02 "/etc/getty H2400" dialup on modem Then I issued a hangup signal to init as root and examining the processes showed that getty was indeed running. Upon dialing up with a PC, the VAXstation modem would connect but the login prompt would not appear on the PC. In addition, the TR light on the VAXstation modem did not come on. I tried setting the force DSR to always on but that did not work either. Am I doing something wrong? I would like to use a cheaper modem but if it can't be done, will I have to purchase a DF242 Scholar Plus modem at $709? Thanks for you help. Send me email or post on the net whatever you prefer.
