I need to connect a modem to my Alpha 2100 series running Digital Unix,
to allow users to dial-in.
There was a summary about doing this back in May, and I am following that
with little luck, and
I hope someone can point out to me what I am doing wrong...
I have a Hayes 14400 connected to com1 (/dev/tty01)
In /etc/inittab I have a line
modem:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty tty01 M19200 vt100
I created a file /etc/ttys and put the following
tty01 none none #modem
In /etc/gettydefs I added
M19200# B19200 HUPCL CS7 # B19200 SANE IXANY TAB3 HUPCL #login: #M9600
(and a little later)
7bit.M19200# B19200 HUPCL CS7 # B19200 SANE PARENB CS7 ISTRIP IXANY TAB3
HUPCL #login: #7bit.M9600
I created a script to echo modem commands out to the modem to change it's
settings:
echo "AT&FS0=3&E5&E7&E11$SB19200&W" > /dev/tty01
echo "AT&FS0=3&E5&E7&E11$SB19200&W0" > /dev/tty01
when I run this, the modem lights blink for a few seconds, so I am sure I
have the right device file/com port
running "file /dev/tty01" produces:
/dev/tty01: character special (35/1) ACE_SLE #0 terminal #1
modem_control on
I did a kill -1 1, and noticed a process running /usr/sbin/getty tty01
M19200 vt100
All this is what the previous summary had said, and everything up to this
point seemed to work ok.
I have the right cable connecting the modem to the cpu. I borrowed a
cable from a turnkey system that uses an alpha, I don't have access to
the OS to see what processes are running and how they are setup :-(
When I dial the number from my laptop, The modem lights blink, but it
doesn't pick up.
Anyone have any ideas or tips on what I am doing wrong? I only have a
few hairs left to pull out!
TIA
I will summarize!
