I have a 2400 baud modem hooked up to a PI/25. The port (I've used ttym1 and ttym2) won't accept incoming calls when uugetty is running. As a quick fix, I have to switch between two different /etc/inittab files. The inittab file that allows me to dial out runs /usr/lib/uucp/uugetty on the modem port. The other inittab file that allows me to dial in runs /etc/getty on the modem port. So far, this is the only way I've figured out how to set up a port for incoming or outgoing calls. Interesting enough, uugetty allowed incoming and outgoing calls when I was running IRIX 3.1. I've only had this problem since 3.2 (and 3.3) was installed. Any ideas as to why I'm having trouble? For reference: This is the version of inittab that allows incoming calls - t2:2:respawn:/etc/getty ttym2 du_2400 This is the version of inittab that allows outgoing calls - t2:2:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty ttym2 du_2400 (Sorry if there are minor typos in the above - I'm typing from memory). One more quick thing - when I toggle between inittab files (i.e 'ln /etc/inittab.in /etc/inittab' or 'ln /etc/inittab.out /etc/inittab') I am changing port specifications (from uugetty to getty or vice versa). Why doesn't 'telinit q' inform the system of the changes? I have to explicitely kill the current getty process in order to invoke the new one. Thanks for any and all help.

Make sure there is entries in your /usr/lib/uucp/Devices for your ttyf device and should also have a Direct entry for the same device! Gabriel
