Hello again,

I have had problems in attempting to use my digiboard serial mux with my
BSDI 2.0 system.  I have had no problems using another digiboard with my
BSDI 1.1 system. 
 
I have the modem dip switches precisely the same (I'm using a USR
Sportster v.34).  The 'digi0' device in the kernel works fine.  The system
boots up properly. The 'TR' light on the modem stays off, until the system
runs 'getty'.  'getty' runs properly, and the 'TR' light on the modem
lights up.

But that's it.  The modem will answer calls, but getty never gives the
login prompt.  The process doesn't do anything.. just keeps the 'TR' light
on.

Here are some settings I have tried :
in '/etc/ttys':
ttyA00  "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" dialup on       # Digiboard P1
ttyA00  "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup on       # Digiboard P1
ttyA00  "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" dialup on       # Digiboard P1
and also:
ttyA00  "/usr/libexec/getty usr.115200" dialup on       # Digiboard P1

where 'usr.115200' is in '/etc/gettytab':
usr.115200:\
        :np:bi:hf:sp#115200:im=\r\n\r\nGALILEO FIGARO (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\n:


I've also tried another terminal type ('vt100').

Nothing works.  It just doesn't respond.

Any ideas?
