I have succeeded in getting printing to tty1. I have successfully connected to the modem thru /dev/tty0, having to mess with L.sys, L-devices, /etc/remote, and stty, until I was able to call out using cu with AT commands. So I know that the cable works, and is right. I know the modem is functioning properly. The problem is that when I do a getty on the port (via respawn in inittab) the getty opens the port, asserts the DTR line, and properly waits for the DCD (carrier detect) line. But, for some reason, the modem doesn't react to the DCD line being asserted, and does not open the port. In other words, the ps -ef shows getty as having ? for its TTY. If I set gettydefs to not use modem control (~MODEM) then the getty gets the port right away! ps -ef shows getty's port as 0. But, when the modem sends the "RING" feedback, getty sends the login prompt causing the "connection" of the modems to be interrupted and the line drops. How do I get getty to use the modem control poperly? Further, I have gotten to the point of getting uucico to open the tty0 port to call out as MASTER, but the dialing does not work at all. How do I get uucico to work, and how do I get it to work in sync with the dialup function of tty0? Can uucp and dialin share tty0? Seems I can write a uucp poll script to turn off getty then back on when I do uucico polls. Could someone who has gotten this stuff working *please* send copies of the uucp/L* files and gettydefs. Don't forget to change the systems, names, and passwords!
