Am I supposed to be able to set this up thru uunstall? I tried, but noticed that 19200 wasn't obviously supported. I didn't have success doing it manually either. Thanks all. -- My .signature is awaiting apropriate display technology

I found this out by using the -c option to check the gettydefs file. It complaned. So I used strings to find out what the right one was. What you might want to do is set up a different set of gettydefs for your modem, so as to remove this problem (the problem being that getty does seem to recognize "B19200", so you can't be lazy and use the same gettydefs for getty and uugetty.

>This EXTA item rings a bell ( I think ), but not loud enough for me to hear. >What is it? A historical item. The DEC DH-11 serial line mux had support for line speeds up to 9600, plus two other speeds called "external A" and "external B", which were to be driven by external clocks. The UNIX tty driver's line speed codes were basically those of the DH-11. Later serial port hardware on various machines supported 19.2 and sometimes 38.4 KB; the codes for "external A" and "external B" were hijacked for those speeds on many UNIX systems. I think Mr. Tucker is saying that SCO UNIX 3.2 is one such system. (Although I'm somewhat surprised it doesn't grok "B19200" as well; the S5R3.0 "uugetty" code appears as if it'll support that speed if "B19200" is defined in <sys/termio.h>, and the S5R3.0 <sys/termio.h> defines both B19200 and EXTA as the same code.)

EXTA is a baud rate setting just like B9600. EXTA and EXTB are the two extra baud rates that are implementation-specific. To be specific for our implementation, EXTA==19200 and EXTB==38400. -- Roger Knopf <standard disclaimer applies> SCO Consulting Services "The True Believers will...formulate uunet!sco!rogerk or rogerk@sco.com a message that even a monkey could 408-425-7222 (voice) 408-458-4227 (fax) understand." --Jeff Tye

To be >specific for our implementation, EXTA==19200 and EXTB==38400. OK, I tried setting up init.base & inittab with uugetty running EXTA. I was able to uucico out ok and to access the modem at 19200 manually. However, the modem (a telebit TB+) hangs up abruptly as soon as an incoming caller's carrier sensing is finished without a successful login. What is the explanation/fix for this phenom?
