I recently found the source for unix Pcomm and I diligently followed all the instructions in the Readme files. After modifying the config.h and Makefile, I compiled the source. Things looked okay during the compile...I think. When I try to use the Pcomm program, it seems to execute correctly but I am unable to communicate to my modem. I checked the Pcomm tty setups and I added one to look the same as my inittab, ie ttyd0. I have tried various setups and I don't see the indicators on my modem change. Finally out of frustration, I edited my inittab file to turn off my port 1 from respawn. I have my modem on port 1. Pcomm seems to execute correctly. I am able to dial out and communicate but only to a point. I am fine until I download a file. After the download completes and terminates, I am unable to communicate with the remote system I am dialed into. It's as if I'm stuck talking to my terminal exclusively. At that point the only thing I can do to terminate the session is to hang up the modem. So, I guess I really have two problems: 1. I have to go to great lengths to modify my inittab file and kill the active uugetty that I have set up on my com port. 2. After downloading files I am unable to communicate with the remote 2 system. I am running ISC 2.2 unix with a cheap two port serial board and an Evercom 2400 baud modem. I have my inittab set up to respawn to port 1 (ttyd0) with uugetty so that I can dial out and others can dial into my system. This works great. I would appreciate any insights that anyone is able to provide.
