- I configured a modem to be available for both dial in/out.
-
- If I kill the connection by just interrupting the line on the client side who
- dialed in to the indigo, the connection breaks but the process of the
- client does not. This causes the console to throw out a dozen
- bufcall: could not allocate stream event
- messages, and then, hundreds of
- select: Resource temporarily unavailable
- messages which go away only if I kill the residual process. This means
- that the poor indigo slows down so much that normal editing is a pain if
- the problem occurs.

-
- The gettydefs file reads:
- bx_38400# B38400 # B38400 SANE TAB3 HUPCL #\nlogin: #du_9600
-
- The inittab file:
- t2:23:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -N -i wait,conn ttyf2 bx_38400 vt100 LDISC1
-
- The wait entry in the Dialers file:
- wait =,-, "" \dATZ\r\c OK \dAT&B1\r\c OK \dATS0=4\r\c OK
- i.e., I do a modem reset (Z), a baud rate setting (&B1), and set the answer
- after the 4th ring (S0=4). Then I wait for the conn:
- conn =W=, CONNECT
-
-
- The modem connects fine, and has very good throughput, in 14400 bps with
- error correction and compression. the 38400 bps to ttyf2 are there because
- in the end I intend to run SLIP on it.
-
- Any hints, suggestions and pointers appreciated.

- Regards
- Reinhard
