Smith <scsmith>) Subject: Dial-up with NetBSD-0.9 Message-ID: <1994Jul27.124313.8108@apgea.army.mil> Keywords: dialup NetBSD-0.9 com modem answer Sender: news@apgea.army.mil (0000-news(0000)) Nntp-Posting-Host: cbda9.apgea.army.mil Organization: Edgewood Date: Wed, 27 Jul 94 12:43:13 GMT Lines: 37 Hello, I am having a devil of a time getting dial-up to work with NetBSD-0.9. I have a A/T IO board for the com ports. The first com port is for the mouse, so I am trying to use /dev/tty01. I have two different external Hayes compatible modems I have been trying to use. Both give the same results. I am running XFree2.0. I have disabled the console in the /etc/ttys file. Ps tells me that getty is running on tty "co". I enabled the com port in /etc/ttys. I have tried "std.9600", "std.2400", and "Autobaud". I have tried turning clocal on and off with stty. I have tried at&c0/at&c1, at&d0/at&d2, at&s0/at&s1. I can get a direct connect to work. But either the modem does not answer the phone (I did set ats0=1), or it answers the phone and nothing happens. Sometime I can see getty running and the transmit and receive lights flashing on the modem. Also, this may be related, sending a HUP signal to init does not always start or stop getty. Often I will need to reboot to get getty to start. I have been told that dial-up is broken in NetBSD-0.9, and right now I am inclined to believe it. Is this a known problem, and is it fixed in NetBSD-1.0? Also, FreeBSD has the sio device that allows dialing in and out on the same device with out the old enable/disable kludge. Will something like this be in NetBSD-1.0? Finally is there a known bug list for NetBSD-0.9? chuck scsmith@apgea.army.mil
