- I am presently using an HP9000/720, HP-UX 8.05. I have a program that is
- supposed to call out to remote computers, download some data and hang up.
- However, I am having quite a few problems with the port.
- I used SAM to configure the port (both of them) and the tty's that were
- created are /dev/ttyd00 and /dev/ttyd01. Now for the hard part..
- When I try to access these tty's, the TR light on the modem lights up, but
- the stty commands I am sending to that port are never executed.
- For Example:
- stty -parenb ixon < /dev/ttyd00
- causes the TR light to come on, but my prompt does not come back unless I hit
- ^C. Upon doing so, the error I get is ttyd00 cannot be opened.
- stty -a < /dev/ttyd00 gives the same results.. a hang until ^C and then the
- error.
-
- So, my question is, how do I access these tty's??
