- I have read 5 or 6 news articles about connecting a modem to a DECstation.
- I have managed (actually my system administrator) to set up a dialin
- connection. Only problem was that I had to set my modem NOT to listen
- the DTR signal. The getty will not hang up my modem on logout but
- wait until I put the calling modem on hook. I can live with that.
- If it did listen to DTR it would hang up just after answering,
- or not answer at all.
-
- My main problem is that I can't use tip. My /etc/ttys says:
-
- ttyd0 "/etc/getty 8bit.2400" dialup on modem shared
-
- In my /etc/remote i have
-
- modemout:dv=/dev/ttyd0:br#2400:
-
- but when running tip
-
- % tip modemout
- all ports busy
-
- I have set the mode bits on ttyd0 to 666. I have commented out the
- /etc/ttys line above and done
-
- kill -1 1
-
- to make sure the device is not busy by another program. (you always
- learn some unix magic from your system administrator when you let
- him type on your keyboard ;-) "ofiles" tell me it is not used by
- anyone else.
-
- Any hints what it is I'm doing wrong or how I can do to figure it out?

-
- (Why dial out on a dial in connection? I want autoanswer to be on at
- 8 in the evening and set it off at 8 in the morning. I have to send
- a string to the modem to set autoanswer mode. The modem is connected
- to my ordinary office line and if I'm late in the morning and someone
- phone me at my office I don't want the modem to answer for me :-)
