- Hi, I am trying to set up my 386bsd with a single 2400 hayes modem and
- do uucp (polling out), kermit/tip/etc... calling out, and receive
- users calling in (i.e. bbs, etc...). Has anyone done this yet. There
- appear to be a lot of problems like if the com port is not set to 2400
- when getty runs the login message and the modem get in an endless loop
- of spitting garbage back and forth at each other. I have a user who
- wants to log in at 1200 and when the modem goes 'CONNECT 1200\R\N'
- getty takes that as the login name (at 2400 baud) and callls login with
- that name. Login doesn't recognize the breaks so it can switch speeds.
-
- What is the best solution? Make login recognize the breaks? I have
- tried to write a simple shell script to act as getty but I don't think
- the system wants to run a script at this early state. I am not
- up to rewriting getty until I find out if anybody else out there is
- doing this. This must be a very common configuration. How do you
- handle it?
-
- Please post responses via E-mail and I will post the best solution
- (with kudos) to the net. Remember to reply. I have asked a few other
- questions and had no responses. I can't believe nobody knew the answers.
-
- Your help is greatly appreciated,
