I know, it's not the fist time that people ask that kind of questions. But I
searched the archives and tried EVERYTHING there and my modem problem is
still not fixed. Are there any good summaries/documents about setting up a
high speed modem with a Digital UNIX box ?
I'm trying to get my modem (GVC14400) to work on my machine(s) (Slpha
Servers 400's and 2100's) and can't get a connection higher than 9600 bps,
no matter how I try !
What I want is a PPP connection at 14400 (And maybe 28800 later). For this,
I have to first log into my system (via getty at 14400) and then issue the
/usr/local/etc/pppd command once logged into my account.
Everything is working fine up to 9600 bps but I can't figure how to set it
up to something higher than this.
Is it possible with my machines/modem ?
My modem can connect at 14400 now, but I get no login prompt....Nothing !
I tried various setting in /etc/gettydefs (I tried 19200, 57600, 14400) like
M57600 B57600 HUPCL CS8 #B57600 SANE IXANY TAB3 HUPCL #login: #M57600
I placed a blank line between each entry.
I set up my modem with something like:
AT&FE0S0=1Q1
What /etc/gettydefs entry should I use ? Does the baud rate specify the
speed of the CONNECTION, or the speed between the computer and the RS-232
interface ?
Should I use XON/XOFF or hardware flow control ?
Should I force the modem to connect at the desired speed ?
Is it supposed to work, or am I just waisting my time on this ?
TIA !
