- I want to turn the AutoAnswer feature of my modem on and off at given
- times.
-
- I can do it using UUCP, except that I can't finish the UUCP connection
- cleanly; it just times out.
- I have the following in my crontab.local:
- 30 18 * * 1-5 uucp uupoll ModemOn
- and I have the following in my L.sys file:
- ModemOn Any DIR 2400 cua \
- "" AT \
- OK ATS0=2 \
- OK ATS0? \
- 002 ""
- I don't know how to end this file so uucico will shut down cleanly.
- Debugging shows that uucico is looking for input:
- root ModemOn (8/17-15:16-258) SUCCEEDED (call to ModemOn )
- imsg looking for SYNC<
-
- OK
- root ModemOn (8/17-15:17-258) TIMEOUT (ModemOn)
-
- Any suggestions?
