[comp.unix.xenix.sco] Getting Callback via modem

rpinder@phad.hsc.usc.edu (Rich Pinder) (04/02/91)

(I'm sorry  for the earlier version of this question - while picking up a copy
 of what I had originally mailed to the sco-list, I mistakingly
'wrote-file' rather than 'wrote-region', so I put up the whole bloody
thing.  Again, sorry!)




I have setup my modem line for dial in and dial out capabilities.  I would
like to dial into the system from home, and using the 'at' command, tell
the system to call me back.  I wrote a script using the following command:

	nohup cu -9600 -lttyA8 <my phone number>

The dialing works, but instead of a login, i get some garbled characters
(which I assume are the carrier detect signals that are asking for a
login).  But, I need the system to _issue_ a login.  The ref book talks
about dial in/dial out lines says "when a dial out program is using the
line, the login is disabled".  Is there a way to re-enable it??? (or an
alternative approach you know of??)

thanks,

Try the ct command. It's supposed to to what you want.

Try sending the modem when it calls you back some <CTRL>breaks it sounds like
the connect speed and the speed at which your local modem are communicating are not in sync.
  
GOOD LUCK
