Lines: 38 Message-ID: <55k1j2$1pm@pandora.vision.net.au> NNTP-Posting-Host: porta08.vision.net.au X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 1.0.82 Help! I have setup a FreeBSD 2.1.5 box which has a modem for dialin access. The modem is a Vfast Class 28.8 The com ports only have 8250 uarts. I am using stty to set crtscts on the com ports. In /etc/ttys I have set the getty to std.38400 for each com port. (No changes have been made to /etc/gettytab) I have followed the section in the handbook on setting up dialin access and am still having problems. My problem is this: I cannot connect unless I set the getty speed to std.9600 in /etc/ttys, and force the modem to connect at 9600. This will give me a login prompt. Any other speed (28.8, 14.4) yields garbage. I suspect that the problem is occurring because the speed between the computer and modem is different from the speed that the modems negotiate. Can you shed any light on this problem? Changing the entry in /etc/ttys to std.19200 and connecting at 14.4 hasn't helped either. I would really like to take advantage of the faster speeds instead of being limited to 9600baud. Thanking you in anticipation.
