- There is information on this in the systems management guide which discusses
- tip and uucp. You want to install the uucp software subset and
- and run uucpsetup which, I think, will help with setting up the modems.
-
- If it doesn't, th emanual will help as it is fairly easy. Roughly, you want:
-
- 1. /etc/acucap to have information on your modem.
-
- 2. /dev/tty?? owned by user uucp and chmod'ed 777
-
- 3. entrie(s) for the dial line used in /etc/ttys and the
- string "shared" on the line like this:
-
- ttyd0 "/etc/getty std.9600" vt100 on shared modem
-
- You should then be able to tip out the line. See the tip man pages. You might
- want to edit /etc/remotes and add names of systems you want to dil to with
- phone numbers but it is not required. Just edit that file so that the
- port you are using and what it thinks the default is are the same tty
- device.
