Harrington) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Modem troubles Date: 13 Jun 1996 07:35:31 GMT Organization: University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho Lines: 27 Distribution: world Message-ID: <4pogc3$lhh@newshound.csrv.uidaho.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: piobaire.erb.uidaho.edu Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hello, I have a USR Sportster 28.8 modem that I've got hooked up to my box running freebsd...and it works, --half the time! Every other call made to it, it gives a login prompt and everything works fine. The other times (exactly every other time) it connects, waits a couple seconds and then disconnects without saying anything. Then, when you type "exit" or "logout" to hangup, the modem doesn't hangup, --EVER-- you have to hangup manually. I have the modem book with all the AT commands, but when I try to access the modem using TIP or KERMIT, nothing I type shows up, and I can't get it to do ANYTHING. ....which means I can't change any of the registers to fix this problem. Any suggestions or solutions? Emailed answers appreciated :) Thanks, Dan -- Dan Harrington harr9435@uidaho.edu Pager: 509-336-4337
