2100, DigiBoard and Modems (2nd attempt)

I had sent this out back in May with no response, so I'm trying again to see if

anyone might have an answer. We should have Digi on site here this week, so
we'll see what happens.

Quick Summary of Problem: Looks like we're getting <LF><LF> when a <CR><LF> is

passed in instead of just <LF>. Tried tweaking stty to no avail. Since this
is
a STREAMS device, the Digi folks say that they pass through everything fine and

that perhaps LDTERM is not doing the proper translation.

================================================================================


I'm dealing with modems again and this time I'm trying to go through a
DigiBoard
EISA/Xem configuration. I have a modem connected through COM1 and it works
fine. I have an another modem of the same model (US Robotics Sportster 28.8
FAX) with an identical configuration connected to the DigiBoard concentrator
via
a full 10-pin RJ-45 cable as directed in the DigiBoard manual.

LAST DIALED #:

We have a hand-held communications device for bar-code scanning and remote data

entry. This device can dialup and connect to the Alpha fine over the COM port.

When we try to connect to the modem connected to the DigiBoard, I get SIA
ERRORS
in /var/adm/sialog stating that there was a "Failure to authenticate session
for
<userid> on /dev/ttya01m". THEN I get a "Failure to authenticate session for
<password> on /dev/ttya01m" message and a "Failure to authenticate session for
(null) on /dev/ttya01m" message.

Upon connecting the handheld is supposed to send <CR><LF> and then wait for
"login: " at which point it should send the <userid><CR><LF> and then it should

wait for "Password:" and then it should pass <password><CR><LF>.

I've tried changing &H1 and &I0 to &H2 and &I2 (based on USR's UNIX modem setup

recommendations), switching to an 8-pin RJ-45 and using ditty's 'altpin'
setting, changing the getty prompt to include more output (like the console
line
in gettydefs) since in connecting via a PC terminal the prompt was "swallowed
up" and I would frequently only see an "n: " instead of "login: ", and I've
tried changing the linespeed in the gettydefs file. I've tried all of these
with no success.

So, if anyone has any clues as to what I can do to have this handheld device
dial into the DigiBoard modem, I would appreciate any guidance.

Thanks,
Bob Capps
