Well, I have my NeAT new NeXTStation home and set up now. I was a
happy camper, and got even happier after I got a cable run to the Hayes
Smartmodem 2400 that I had been using with my PC clone, and got dialout
working. Up to this point I was living in blissfull ignorance of the
Warning on the bottom of page 187 of the Network and System Administration
manual.
Well, to make a long story short, dial-out works fine, but dial-in
is proving to be a bit of a hang-up. I have used earlier sugestions from
Mark Adler to get the modem to respond reasonably to DCD and DTR. My
/etc/ttys file and /etc/remote reference /dev/ttydfb and /dev/cufb where
appropriate [NOTE: it seems that having the f to use the hardware flow
control solves the /dev/cub: Device Busy problem].
My question is, has anyone else gotten dial-in working with a Hayes
Smartmodem 2400? If so, what am I not doing?
One more note, my testing of dial-in has been done with a 1200 baud
internal modem that I had on the PC, and two phone lines (the machines are
sitting right next to each other). The getty changes to a login -p <insert
garbage> after the connection is made. The PC shows garbage (different from
the login) on its screen.
Any help would be very appreciated. Mail might be best, since I
am having trouble keeping up with news now that classes have started again.
Thank You.
