[comp.unix.i386] NEED YOUR HELP WITH DAIL-IN MODEM!!

paine@fungus.dec.com (Willy Paine) (09/15/89)

I have Interactive 386/ix 2.0.2 and I need to setup Hayes 2400 and HST
modem for incomming calls.   It took me over a month trying to set up
but these modem will NOT answer any calls.   Telebit is the only modem
that it works fine because I got technical information from TB.   I am
kind of confusing and I dont really understand why Hayes 2400 and HST
wont anwser.   I have excellent book, Managing uucp and usenet but this
does help me to get modem answer.    I am doing out going calls for over
a year in all my modem but recently I have only Telebit running
incomming.

I would like to get gettydefs, inittab, modem S-Register setup and
anything that will make modem to answer any calls.   I have Compaq
386/20 with 9 pins com ports (2).  I have several rs232 cables include
one brand new.

I need your help really badly and  Interactive and SCO have not reply my
message yet.

Thank you for your time...

Switches 3 & 4 need to be reversed from the factory settings.  They should
be set up to *not* echo offline commands, and *not* produce result codes. 
Switch 5 should be on to enable auto-answer.
