Hello!
I'm new at setting up UNIX (BSD) and I have been at it for just
a few days now. I need to set up the system so that the serial port
modem (14,400 baud) can be used for dialin purpose.
Now I have tried to research and read books. From them I tried to
change the /etc/ttys file and add an entry like this:
tty00 "/etc/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown on
or
tty00 "/etc/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on
or
tty00 "/etc/libexec/getty std.9600" dialup on
None of them works. For one thing, when I boot up my modem's
Terminal_Ready light didn't show up.. that usually means when someone
calls the modem won't even pick up the phone. Do I need to do something
like echo "AT M1 E0" > /dev/tty00 or similar for UNIX?
I'm really stuck. Please help!!
