- Your cable or null modem/cable is not asserting DCD (carrier detect)
- or is not asserting it in what AIX thinks is a timely fashion.
-
- Since you are using direct connect, you might wish to play with setting
- CLOCAL in your tty setup. CLOCAL can tell AIX to ignore modem signals.
- (caveat: there goes your flow control!) Or change your cable to "fake" out
- the DCD line, tying it to some other signal that you know will change with
- it. A $7.99 rs-232 line monitor (7 LEDS, gosh!) will help lots here.
