About a month ago, Eric (eric@snark.uucp) posting a *very* thorough
article on setting up a Telebit TB. I have set up our modems with
essentially the same configurations as Eric has suggested.
When the telebit was on our Microport 2.4 system, everything was just
peachy. We could call our news feed, our users could call in to us.
All on the same line.
We have recently upgraded our system to a 386/ix system. We can still
dialout okay, but incoming calls don't work.
The telebit will only answer incoming calls if DTR is asserted. When
getty starts up, it asserts DTR and the modem will answer. But then
uucico calls out and when it is done, it drops DTR to drop the line.
At this time, getty will not reassert the DTR line, so the modem will
not answer anymore.
1. I could set up the modem to ignore DTR, but I think this is not a
good answer.
2. Can the DTR line be reasserted?
3. Could it be the driver that came with our smart card? (Intellicon-8)
4. HELP?!?
Details if they are any value...
uucico calls out on tty4g
/etc/getty respawns on tty4G
I tried /usr/lib/uucp/uugetty, but it was no better
I tried both getty's on tty4g, but it was no better
ISC 386/ix 1.0.6
Intellicon-8 smart card driver version 1.02.1
Regards,
Larry
