getty/telnet on direct and dialin line

Hello managers,

We bought an ELSA MicroLink 28800 TQV V.34 modem to attach to our DEC Alpha
3000/300LX OSF/1 V3.0 (Rev. 347). Following the manpage instructions and methods
discussed in this list I tried to set it up as follows:

- /etc/gettydefs: (with empty lines)

19200 # B19200 HUPCL CS8 CLOCAL # B19200 SANE IXANY TAB3 CLOCAL #login: #9600

38400 # B38400 HUPCL CS8 CLOCAL # B38400 SANE IXANY TAB3 CLOCAL #login: #19200

M19200# B19200 HUPCL CS8 # B19200 SANE IXANY TAB3 HUPCL #login: #M9600

M38400# B38400 HUPCL CS8 # B38400 SANE IXANY TAB3 HUPCL #login: #M19200

- /etc/inittab:
modem:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty /dev/ttyd0 M38400 vt100

- modem with settings:
       Auto Answer, Hardware Flow, 28800 8bit no parity 1 stop,
       MNP5 and V.42bis, Auto-reliable

- executing 'init q' somteimes works, sometimes reports:
        scco: input silo overflow

As you may guess, login sometimes works and sometimes not. Usually it works for
2-3 times, then I get unreadable characters AFTER the login prompt.
This is the behaviour I know from connecting a simple VT terminal at a false
speed/settings.


To check the line I try to login directly:

- /etc/inittab:
ttyd0:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty /dev/ttyd0 38400 vt100

No problem. But telnet doesn't work!

So telnet doesn't work: neither from the direct login nor by modem dialin.
But rsh and also 'kermit -c -j XXXXX' works.

I suppose it is an stty setting problem, could it be a broken getty?

Thanks for any hints.
