I have a 3b1 with 3.5.1.4. I've just installed HDB. Which works well with the OBM. (I think). I've installed an external 2400 baud modem which needed the \M business. The modem is a Gandalf 24S with a Hayes compatibility mode. I've selected the interface lines (theoretically) compatible with the V.22 bis standard in the modem. I'm using the uugetty that came with HDB. I'm running it off tty000 (tho, I do have a RS232 card) I'm having a few problems: 1) When I use a cable I had around for a printer (I think it's got a jumper or two in one end), I can dial out, but it won't auto answer. The modem occasionally hangs (eg: once a day) 2) When I use a purchased straight thru cable: - via cu, I get echo from the modem even with ATE0 - when I enable echo (ATE1), I get *two* echos, the second usually garbled. - The above occurs with uucico, and callouts usually fail. - it won't answer the phone. I've tried all of the interface signal options on the modem: 1) DTR is ignored, CTS, DCD and DSR forced on. 2) DTR is monitored, and its status is reflected to CTS, DCD and DSR. 3) Dataswitch compatible operation: - CPU initiates call by asserting DTR, modem responds with CTS, DCD and DSR. - calls disconnected by dropping DTR, modem drops CTS, DCD and DSR - incoming calls indicated by assertting RI, CPU responds with DTR. Then asserts DCD and CTS when handshake completed. 4) V.22 bis compatibility. Often when there is an incoming call, uugetty goes away and is replaced by login. Login may be talking to the "RING" the modem is emitting. But the modem has NOT answered the phone. Modem DTR indicator appears to be always on. These are my various entries (broken for readability): /etc/inittab (leading space) 000:2:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -r -t60 tty000 2400A /etc/gettydefs: 1200A# B1200 CLOCAL BRKINT IGNPAR ISTRIP IXON IXOFF ECHO OPOST ONLCR # HUPCL BRKINT ISTRIP ICRNL IXON OPOST ONLCR B1200 CS8 CREAD ISIG ICANON ECHO ECHOE ECHOK TAB3 #\nWelcome to the AT\&T UNIX pc\n\nPlease login: #2400A 2400A# B2400 CLOCAL BRKINT IGNPAR ISTRIP IXON IXOFF ECHO OPOST ONLCR # HUPCL BRKINT ISTRIP ICRNL IXON OPOST ONLCR B2400 CS8 CREAD ISIG ICANON ECHO ECHOE ECHOK\ TAB3 #\nWelcome to the AT\&T UNIX pc\n\nPlease login: #1200A (Is CLOCAL supposed to be on?)

Note the \M and \m Devices: ACU tty000,M tty000 2400 gan24s Have I done anything obviously wrong? Does the HDB uugetty work properly or do I need to get another one? Does the 3b1 tty000 port support DTR properly? My inittab or gettydefs entry might be slightly off because the HDB install broke, so I had to manually complete that part. Thanks.
