- Sorry folks, but I lost the email I was replying to, and consequently
- the return address. But, I was going to post this on the net anyway.
-
- Samy,
-
- There is a program called ttymon (which takes the place of getty
- on older machines) that uses a file called /etc/saf/ttymon3/_pmtab (I am
- not going to going into STREAMS here) This file should have a line in it
- that looks like this:
-
- 01:ux:root:reserved:reserved:reserved: /dev/term/01h:br::/usr/bin/login::38400E7:login\\: :: #
-
- (I don't know if there is a double back-slash in that line, but if there is,
- it should be a single one)
-
- This should make tty01 (COM2) a 38400 baud even parity bidirectional
- comm port. Note the "br" in the field just after /dev/term/01. This tells
- ttymon to make it a [b]idirectional port and wait for carriage [r]eturn
- on initial connect. This is so login doesn't startup and lock the port
- all the time, making it impossible to dialout.
- My Telebit WorldBlazer (used to be a T3000, but it grew) worked great
- with this setup doing UUCP and logins happily. I recently switched to FAS
- (watch for my forthcoming article "Getting FAS to run under SVR4 - Consensys")
- and it now happily (mostly) does it at 115200 baud!! FAS is a pretty usefull
- tool - although I don't really think it fits into SVR4 well - it's not
- a STREAMS module. But I LIKE it! Only it seems that it broke my
- UUCP connection with my friend's Sun SPARC I. I can send/receive files fine
- as long as I originate the call. If he calls me he gets a protocol error
- of some sort - anyone ever hear of this? I've already fixed the fubyte bug.
- It's definitely in Consensys SVR4 3.0 1.3!!!
-
-
- I also used the hardware flow control port (/dev/term/01h or
- /dev/tty01h). If you don't have a modem that will do hard flow control, you
- can use /dev/term/01.
- Something I'd like to say: is it worth it to use FAS if you don't
- need 57600 or 115200 baud and are running SVR4 with ttymon/et al??? The
- 115200 is what got me to try it at all.
-
- P.S.: Anyone need a color TECO written in C? (Compiles under SVR4 and
- SunOS, but doesn't really use any advanced UNIX stuff).
