The port and modem work fine under coherent 4.0, mh> so I know it's not hardware. I mailed a response to Michael, but decided to post my mail as I think I have it pretty well outlined here. I have a T2500 connected to a 16550 buffered port, locked at 19200 baud. My modems issue answer tones, but the dialin modem drops carrier as soon as it detects carrier. /etc/ttys entry. tty01 "/usr/libexec/getty t19200" dialin on /etc/gettytab entry. # patched getty to allow 8N1 dialin. t19200:\ # author is: Felix Gaehtgens (felix@ikf.physik.uni-frankfurt.de) :np:ap:hw=true:cs8:nx=t19200:tc=19200-baud: I am using cgd's com-driver with patchkit-0.2.1 and kernel PL at 110. I initialize the port in /etc/rc.local with: # Setup bidirectional modem port /sbin/comcontrol /dev/tty01 bidir # modem 1 stty -f /dev/tty01 19200 cs8 hupcl -clocal 2 key registers in the T2500 that have some effect are: S130=1, DSR on when answer tone S131=1, DCD on only when remote carrier If you see similarities to your config, please let me know. -- Randy Terbush INET: randyt@cse.unl.edu UUCP: sparky!dsndata!randyt God!
