I am attempting to set up my Hayes-compatible modem (Anchor Patriot 2400E) to allow dialing in, most especially for uucp, because I am being set up as a site to be reached via phone. I have followed all the instructions that I can find regarding the /etc/ttys file and the modem settings, and the basic procedure works. However, most of the time it is impossible to call in because the getty on the cube immediately asserts DTR, and once that happens I can see a flurry of activity on the send and receive lights, followed soon after by a false login (login -p zj or kz or whatever) apparently caused by some kind of noise. This login then times out after 20 or 30 seconds, DTR drops and then returns, and the process repeats. If a real dialup occurs before the false login succeeds, all is well--but this makes uucp dialup nearly impossible. Is there a setting to stop this? I was using /dev/ttya at first (set to "on") and then tried /dev/ttyda, and got identical results. As I said, dialup works if timed correctly, but most of the time it is no-go. Thanks in advance.
