[comp.unix.i386] getty problems again

max@maxsun.lgc.com (Max Heffler) (07/15/90)

I finally got around to installing the FAS driver and when I tried to use
getty I got the same problems I posted 6 months ago:  modem answers but no
login prompt.  I have been successfully dialing out of this same port with
the original driver and the FAS driver.  In fact, I am posting this from a
successful dialout.  I am using a Compaq 386/25 running ISC 386/ix 2.0.2
and the FAS driver with a Telebit Trailblazer Plus modem.

/usr/lib/uucp portions of interest:
Devices:
ACU ttyF01 - 1200 tb1200 \T
ACU ttyF01 - 2400 tb2400 \T
ACU ttyF01 - 9600 tbfast \T
ACU ttyF01 - 19200 tbfast \T
ACU tbinit - 19200 tbinit \T

Dialers:
tb1200  =W-,    "" A\pA\pA\pA\pA\pT OK ATx3s0=0s64=1s50=2DT\T NNECT\s1200
tb2400  =W-,    "" A\pA\pA\pA\pA\pT OK ATx3s0=0s64=1s50=3DT\T NNECT\s2400
tbfast  =W-,    "" A\pA\pA\pA\pA\pT OK ATx3s0=0s64=1s50=255DT\T FAST-\c-FAST
tbinit  =W-,    "" A\pA\pA\pA\pA\pT OK ATs51=254 OK

Systems (modified):
lgc Any ACU 19200 5551212  "" \r "" \r ogin:--ogin:--ogin: uulgcp assword: ***

Does anybody have a suggestion on how to get a successful dialin?

Thanx in advance (again)...

Unfortunately you didn't tell us which release of FAS you use. I'll
assume that it is 2.06 (the latest one).

From your dialers file I'd suspect that you have result codes enabled
even if getty is on the port. Try to set your EEPROM parameters to disable
result codes by default (`ATQ1'). But then you have to enable it wherever
you need it (`ATQ0'), in your dialers file for instance. The problem here
is that the modem result string may confuse getty.

Did you check the gettydefs file? Maybe the port isn't set up with the
proper flags.

Please tell us when you got it working.

I specify atq5 on my trailblazer plus with satisfactory results  -- but i'm
also running uugetty on the port.  [The atq5 mode is defined as follows:

		The local modem will not report the RING
		result codes and it not report NO CARRIER,
		CONNECT, BUSY or RRING unless the connection
		was initiated with an ATD or ATA command.
