Date: Sun, 10 Nov 1996 09:13:54 -0800 Organization: Delta Internet Services, Anaheim, CA Lines: 30 Message-ID: <32860D52.4D7F@deltanet.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: gar0239.deltanet.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (Macintosh; I; 68K) Does anybody know how to get tip to actually make the modem dial out and connect to another computer. I am using NetBSD1.2 on a 100 MHz Pentium with the GENERICOTHER kernel, and an internal modem (Supra 336i pnp) on com3 (tty02). In Win95, plug'nplay assigns the same IRQ and address as NetBSD does. I have plug'nplay enabled on the modem. What I have done so far: 1. I made device tty02, to correspond to com3, where the modem is. The com port does show up at boot time. I used the MAKEDEV program to make tty02. 2. I followed the directions in the BSD faq for setting up the system to access the modem. This included changing ownership of tty02 to uucp.dialer, doing a stty -f /dev/tty02 clocal, and editing the /etc/remote file according to the man pages so I could use the tip command to get the modem. I could not verify that the stty command actually set tty02 to clocal. I did not know what to set at to in etc/remote, so I set at=hayes as in the examples, and I tried it with various baud rate settings, and never had any success. I am unfamiliar with the tip command and need some help getting this to work. I also tried changing things in the /etc/ttys file. That file lists tty02 as an unknown type and marks it off. Is that the problem? Thanks in advance, Chuck Zmudzinski
