Help appreciated! We have a PS/2 Model 80-111 the sole purpose of which is to run a public access AIX 1.2 operating system with IBM X.25 expansion card and IBM AIX X.25 software (the only release). The phone company publishes the service today in its networks. We have been trying to set up the system for a week now, with no success. The installation is simple, done according the little guidance there is in the Managing The Operating System manual. But when somebody calls us via the X.25 network, our machine does not establish a connection but gives a console error message can't set CLOCAL getty sleeping When we try to set the CLOCAL parameter for the X.25 related virtual terminals ttya0-ttya8 manually, the stty command halts and we have to interrupt it. The phone company has tested that the frame level, i.e. the data link layer of the software is working but the higher packet level is not. We are not experts in X.25 and our unix wizardry is limited. I have a 19 diskette maintenance update for the operating system and plan to install that next, but I am afraid that there is a simple configuration error somewhere.
