- It sounds like your modem is not set up correctly. The modem is
- probably configured to return verbal result codes, which means that
- sometimes immediately after the other end connects, your system thinks
- that someone called "CONNECT" is trying to log in. Since the "login-id"
- is in all caps, getty assumes that the calling system cannot do
- lowercase and switches to all-uppercase mode.
-
- To fix it, turn off result codes (ATQ1, usually) and save that setting
- to NVRAM. You probably also want to turn off command echo (ATE0), so
- your getty and your modem don't get into a screaming match. You can
- then turn result codes back on (ATQ0) in the dialer script for
- outgoing calls.
