Hi all,
I am trying very hard to connect a modem to the serial port - the 25 pin
connector at the back of the Dec Station 3000/300 tty00 so that I can login
from home. The 3000/300 is running with OSF/1 2.1.
I did not think it would be so difficult. Here is what I did up to now
following the suggestions of Dale Blasingame (daleb_at_msdc.com) who has
successfully configured a dialin modem on a 3000/300LX. Thank you very much
Dale!
1. Put an entry in the /etc/inittab file:
tty00:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty tty00 dialin vt100
2. Put an entry in the /etc/gettydefs file :
dialin# B19200 HUPCL CS8 # B19200 SANE IXANY TAB3 HUPCL CS8 #login: #dialin
3. Run init q (in order to re-read the inittab file)
4. Once I do step 3 i start getting repeated messages in the dxconsole saying:
getty: cannon open tty00 errno: 6
5. I did a /dev/MAKEDEV scc0 and two files were created (scc0 is the ontroller):
tty00 and tty01
6. Nothing happened so rebuilt the kernel with:
doconfig -c EACA02
(EACA02 is the name of the machine)
I moved vmunix to the root and rebooted but I still get the above message
both during boot and later repeated continously in the dxconsole.
7. I removed the lines from the above files, did an "init q" and tried the
uucpsetup script. As soon as I chode option 2 (configure a direct line
connection) i got the message :
There are no ttys available, direct line cannon be configured
Any advise from experts or non-experts ?
Thanks for bearing with me.
