- The best approach if you are dedicating your modem to this is to
- set the parameters and save them in the modems non volatile
- memory. If I remember right I have the following set-
- echo off
- hangup on dtr being dropped
- no result codes
- answer on one ring
-
- I saved these and then turned on the switch that makes it ignore
- at commands. This prevents the computer sending garbage to the modem
- and making it do weird things.
-
- One possible problem you may run into is that getty doesn't hold
- DTR down for long enough, if your modem doesn't always hang up you
- can make a shell script-
- getty1
- #!/bin/sh
- sleep 10
- exec /bin/agetty $*
-
- this will hold dtr down for 10 seconds.
