- I was looking for a standard way to do it (switching my modem to no command echo
- etc.). Do you think editing /etc/gettytab and inserting something like
-
- D2400|d2400
- :im=ATE0\r:
-
- would be appropriate? Or is this done elsewhere? I remember that in an earlier
- release of SCO (ODT 1.0) I had uugetty for this purpose.
-
- What is the correct (standard / nohack ) method to set up the modem to avoid
- this "getty war" problem?
