[comp.unix.xenix.sco] Dialers

jimr@vpnet.chi.il.us (Jim Rendant) (11/08/90)

I am using XENIX 2.3.2. I haven't had any problems with my system until I
had to get some help from US Robotics. I have been using the hayes2400
dialer which was working for me. NOW it seems to be having a problem.
When the modem hangs up it doesn't return me to the shell prompt, only after I issue a ~. command does it return to the shell even 
though the modem is
offhock and waiting for the next command. What can I do to make it work??
help me please
thanks ....
Jimr 
P.S. I am using a HST 9600 baud modem

To enable Xenix to recognize the lost carrier, you must use a device with
modem control lines, e.g. /dev/tty1A instead of /dev/tty1a.

I have been trying to find out why my modem (HST9600) has not been reset
properly after it hangs the line up. I have used the &hstxxx just like SCO
recommends. IE; hayes2400 &hayes2400 setup/reset examples. Has anyone ever
actual had them work?

I am sitting here with a ARC7700 data line analyzer and i should be able to see
any traffic between modem & computer. I see the inital startup initiated by a
"cu" or "uucp" command but after the disconnect I don't see the computer tellingthe modem to reset itself or do I see the computer 
trying to send data back to
the modem. Where am I going wrong? I use the tilde period method of logging off
ie:~. <return> and I don't see anything happening.

Has anyone tried to wotk with this.
Your help would be appreciated........
