Date: 24 Dec 1995 21:15:03 GMT Organization: University of North Florida Lines: 15 Message-ID: <4bkfsn$rjh@osprey.unf.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: osprey.unf.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I'm trying to set up FreeBSD to service dialin users with a Cyclades Cyclom-Ye 16-port board. The system works fine when getty or mgetty is monitoring serial port 0 (ttyd0), but when I turn them loose on the Cyclades port, the user end's responses to the login: prompt are not recognized. The mgetty eventually times out and drops the connection. The driver documentation claims I must reverse pins 4 and 20. However, doing this causes mgetty to fail on its initial chat with the modem. Leaving the wiring as straight thru results in the behavior above. Does anyone have this setup working? The author of the driver does not answer email concerning this problem. Thanks, Cliff
