Well, I have a couple.... First internal modems are a pain in the ass. I have an internal and an external... the internal has caused excessive drinking but now works. Make sure your /dev/tty01 entry in /etc/ttys is off. It take three parts to get my SLIP connection working. 1. This script : *adjust tty00 to whatever you need all the way through the 3 parts. #!/bin/csh -f stty -f /dev/tty00 clocal kermit -l /dev/tty00 -b 38400 2. That script will throw you into kermit. ( I could not get tip or cu to work either) Yes kermit is not installed most likely. Go get it and install.. it is easy. Adjust the script as needed to fit your login situation. In kermit: output atz\13 *init the modem output at&d0\13 *tell modem don't hang the line up when I quit kermit *that command may vary modem to modem... I have a zoom *and a supra and it works on both. :) output atdt5551212\13 *dial the phone input 45 login: *show input 'til you see the login output username\13 *obvious output password\13 *ditto input 1 oof *no words match oof for me... it will show all of the *text that has come in after the password quit *get the hell out of kermit 3. Then this script: #!/bin/csh -f ifconfig sl0 inet 199.2.205.31 199.2.205.253 metric 1 * 199.2.205.31 is my local IP 199.2.205.253 is connecting IP route add default 199.2.205.254 * 199.2.205.254 is IP for the defalut router... some cases this is the same * as the connecting IP slattach /dev/tty00 19200 *serial link tty00 at 19200 ifconfig sl0 up *turn slip on echo "done" *cheer That's it! :) -James millerj@oes.orst.edu
