- My roomate has a Sun 3/60 that he is trying to get a dial-up modem to
- work with. Here he is now... (Greg Lypowy)
-
- First off, let me say that this my first foray into UNIX systems
- administration. I have a USRobotics 14400 Sportster, and I am trying to
- configure the system for dial-up off of Serial port ttya.
-
- The problem is, the modem answers the phone and everything, but does not
- offer the remote system a login prompt, or any feedback for that matter. I
- have done the following:
-
- - created the ttyd0 special file in /dev
- - included a ttyd0 entry in /etc/ttytab, to the effect of:
- ttyd0 "/usr/etc/getty d2400" dialup on
- (2400 was chosen only as a test speed).
- Now the getty runs fine, and I can see the modem receiving info from the
- remote system. But she won't talk to the other system.
-
- Am I just leaving out something obvious? Any help would be greatly
- appreciated!
-
- Greg.
