I've tried, and read, and tried again, and I can't get a tty device with modem control under Esix Rev D. The ttyMxx device with the minor device number equal to the minor device number of the coresponding ttyxx port plus 128 is unaccess- able from either uucico or cu. I don't fully understand the format of the sdevice.d/asy file, but the release notes I have from Revs C & D mention nothing about any mods that need to be made to get modem control working. Can anyone out there supply with a cookbook approach to getting this working? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance SMY -- Stephen M. Youndt -- uunet!hacker!steve

About 1.5 screens through the file is a listing of your tty ports - the i/o address is te first field, interrupt (hardware) is the second and I believe the third is the modem control field - if you want modem control, that filed must be MCOUT2 or OUT2 instead of 0. You should check the file to be sure that they are correct - i've had my share of problems with the initasy script that came with Esix. (it doesn't work for any other cnfig than perfectly "normal"). That's just a lead, and I don't know if it will work. -Nathan Lane Digital Technology Service Santa Barbara, CA (805) 683-3760 Authorized Esix resellers
