- I've seen several discussions about modem dial-in for Linux system. I
- got two unsolved questions here:
- 1. Is it necessary to get getty_ps program to allow modem dial-in?
- 2. If I just want to use the getty from MCC-INTERIM or root image (.96 or
- .97), what steps should I follow?
- I've tried (1) edit the /etc/inittab to add a line
- ttys1:vt100:/etc/getty -m 2400 ttys1
- reboot, and type the command
- echo atq1e0s0=2v1x4 >/dev/ttys1
- Now the system says the device is busy and my
- friend can not dial in.
- (2) Without changing the /etc/initab, give the command
- echo atq1e0s0=2v1x4 >/dev/ttys1
- (no device busy this time)
- and then
- getty 2400 /dev/ttys1 &
-
- This seemed to work but after my friend logout,
- his screen went messy (he is also running Linux)
-
- Also, how to choose terminal type with this
- apporach?
-
- I will be greatly appreciated if someone can post his whole procedures
- to allow modem dial-in.
