I've got a (very simple ?!?) problem which blows up the spool area of my news host... Everytime I get an incomming call via phone, the modem picks up the line and immediately drops it again ! I tried several gettydefs configurations, but always with the same problem, so the other host is not able to poll my 386/IX System. The inittab entry looks like this: ..(deleted)......./etc/getty -t30 /dev/tty00 2400H | --- even uugetty is the same..... It's an 2400 Baud internal modem configurated as COM1. I'tried an external modem with the same results.... ...cu and uucico are working fine.....

My guess is you have the modem configured to return result codes. When the phone rings, the modem sends "RING" to the serial port. By the time the modem seizes the line, the computer is thouroughly confused, and tells the modem to drop the line (by lowering DTR). On my ATI 2400 baud modem, ATQ2 is the command that allows you to turn off the result codes in answer mode, and still have them in originate mode.

One other thing to check -- I ran into this just this week. If one of the modems is MNP auto-reliable and the other is not MNP-capable, the same behavior can occur. My problem went away when I disabled MNP on my side [changed the Dialers entry to use n0 (Normal) instead of n3 (Auto-Reliable)]. -- Alan Denney aland@informix.com {pyramid|uunet}!infmx!aland "Girl, we couldn't get much higher." - Joe Isuzu
