How to set up a modem on an Alpha 1000?

Hello,

I am trying to set up a data modem on a Alpha 1000 box running Digital Unix
3.2C.
This is a special type of modem which is constantly receiving data and
cannot transmit data. I have hooked up this modem to the first serial port
of the Alpha.

I wish to find out if the Alpha is receiving data on its serial port.

If I do:

file /dev/tty0*

I get:

/dev/tty00: character special (35/0) ACE_SLU #0 terminal #0 modem_control off
/dev/tty01: character special (35/1) ACE_SLU #0 terminal #1 modem_control off

Now, if I do:

cat /dev/tty00,

I don't see anything.

I tried running /usr/sbin/uucpsetup to set up /dev/tty00 as a Hayes modem,
but now when I do file /dev/tty0*, it only shows:

/dev/tty01: character special (35/1) ACE_SLU #0 terminal #1 modem_control off

I don't know what has happened to /dev/tty00

Does anybody have experience setting up modems directly connected to
Alpha 1000 machines?

I have tried phoning Digital technical support but have gotten very
little useful information.

Thanks.
