Can someone send appropriate 'gettydefs' entries for enabling
incoming calls on a Telebit T2500. Default to 9600 with
cycling to other speeds. Also, an approriate entry for
'ttys' and correct S Register settings for the modem (and
for the T2500 calling it)?
The thing answers the phone OK, gives a login prompt, then
puts out nothing but garbage.
Thanks.

Lock the speed at which the modem communicates with the port, and then let the telebit handle the speed toggling while communicating with the other modem. Settings for my T2500 are S52=1 S54=3 S58=0 S64=1 S66=1 S68=3 S111=30 S110=1 S11=50 S51=5 S130=5 S131=1 -- Rohit Mehrotra Fleet Credit Corporation 8325 NW 53rd St, Miami, Fl 33166.

This is an OK setup where the modem , cable and, serial port are correctly matched but will be a disaster at low speed when the hardware handshaking fails. I don't recommend locking the interface speed on a Telebit. Reorder the gettydefs to cycle baud rates from 19.2kbps down. It is far more reliable. -- Michael R. Johnston, Mgr.

I suggest you abandon the idea of "cycling" altogether. Set your interface at 9600 and "lock" the speed (S66=1). Let your Telebit speed-adjust with its counterpart. My TB+ worked like a champ under Xenix 2.3.2, still works (unmodified) under SCO ODT, whether interfacing to my NEWS feed (running TB+ as well) or to my home box (2400 baud Hayes-compatible).

I don't recommend locking the interface >speed on a Telebit. Wait a second! That's like saying, "Hard disks are nice until the controller fails. Better use floppies." Running with a locked speed to the local DTE is much nicer. But you obviously do need a working flow control to use this(*). If your serial port and/or drivers are broken, indeed, don't try to lock the interface. A couple of years back, broken handshaking seemed to be the rule rather than the exception, so it's no wonder both Telebit and SCO recommend running at a matching speed rather than locking it down. Saying "don't do it" as a blanket statement seems an unfair generalization. Is there some point I'm missing? (*) Unless you are running nothing but uucico to other PEP modems, in which case you can probably run without any flow control. -- Chip Rosenthal <chip@chinacat.Unicom.COM> Unicom Systems Development, 512-482-8260 Our motto is: We never say, "But it works with DOS."

Well there appears to be many ways to skin this cat. We had problems when trying to open "locked", but has worked like a champ with cycled. We have a Telebit T18PC, and connect to several sites with Telebit +, and about 15 sites with 2400 Hayes compatibles, and seem to be running fine, making daily connects to all sites. There may be something wrong with the above, but it has been working fine for about 6 months now. Any comments are welcome (well almost any) -- >.. CCS Enterprises, Inc. .. Bob Willey, CDP ..< >..
