- Hello, I am having trouble making modem connections on a Sun
- SparcStation 2. The syptoms are that whenever I try to login to the
- sparc over the modem line (setup in accordance with SUNs
- documentation) often (not always) the modem connected to the sparc
- will answer - connect - then disconnect. I never see the login
- prompt.
-
- After reading several news posts I changed the gettytab on the sparc
- to this:
-
- (entry for std.2400)
- :sp=#2400:p8:ms=crtscts:
-
- (actually, I just added the p8 and crtscts part the rest of the file
- is just as shipped by sun)
-
- This didn't seem to help. Changing the gettytab only changes the port
- for incoming calls - what 'mode' does the sparc dial out as? (ie. 7E1,
- 8N1, ??) what controls the dial-out mode? I am trying to get UUCP
- working and to support dial-in and dial-out. When the calls succeed
- things seem to work ok (mail is transferred and other things happen).
-
- BTW: I am dialing from one sparc to another - both setup with the same
- modem and same config files.
-
- I have some knowledge of Unix - little knowledge of modems. Any help
- would be appreciated. Thank you.
