- I'm using 0.97.1 and GCC 2.2.2 with uugetty from the getty_ps package.
-
- Is there a standard modem command (AT set) to lock the serial speed to
- one value independent of modem speed. I can't find one for any of my
- modems (so they obviously might not support it) but I'd like to know
- what the command is, so that I can try it.
-
-
- Now on to more Linux-specific... With the original getty (from the root
- image) a carrier loss situation gets handled properly. I.E., the processes
- get killed and getty is respawned. This getty does not handle multiple
- connect speeds as well, and does not have a uugetty option, so I'm no
- longer using it, in favor of uugetty as I said above. BUT...
-
- Now when carrier is lost without logging out, the processes no longer
- get killed. Yes, I have the -HUPCL in all the /etc/gettydefs entries.
- Yes, the DCD line follows modem carrier detect. No, things aren't
- working right, and if somebody forgets to log off or loses carrier,
- that tty can't be used until I manually kill the process, at which
- point uugetty is properly respawn.
-
- I can't find any clue in the man pages, and hope desperately that
- some kind soul can help out! Thanks in advance!
