I have a std.9600 getty running on com1. The port is asserting DTR as the modem answers when called. Once the modems connect, that's it, I get no login banner. If i cu to the port, i get connected, but cannot talk to the modem. The cable is a full modem cable. Have even checked com port to motherboard cable just in case, nothing wrong. Have tried different getty defs/speeds/terminal emulations etc. Can anyone tell me if i have missed anything, or am doing something blatantly wrong. The eventual aim is to use port for incoming uucp traffic. (Another kettle...) Thanks for any help, Craig Stratton.
