- I am trying to connect a Practical Peripherals modem, model
- PM14400-FXSA (1.44 Kbaud Hayes compatible), to SCO UNIX system. I
- am having problems making cu and the dialer programs work together.
-
- I used the make.dialer scrip to configure a dialer for the
- Practical Peripherals modem. I used the default setup string
- recommended by the manufacture (AT&FE0Q2&K4&W0). Then I put the
- following line in my /usr/lib/uucp/Device file:
-
- ACU tty1A - 9600 /usr/lib/uucp/dialPP \D
-
- When I type the command:
-
- cu -s 9600 555-5555
-
- The modem dials and makes a connection to a remote terminal server.
- When I hit Carriage Return, I get the logon prompt from the
- terminal server, then all communications stops. I can not send or
- receive. When I try to exit out of cu with a "<tilde> .", the
- process hangs.
-
- If I configure my /usr/lib/uucp/Device file with:
-
- ACU tty1A - 9600 /usr/lib/uucp/dialPP \D
- Direct tty1A - 9600 direct
-
- And then type the commands:
-
- /usr/lib/uucp/dialPP /dev/tty1A 555-5555 9600
- cu -s 9600 555-5555
-
- The dialer will make a connection and cu will communicate with the
- remote terminal server with no problems.
-
- Since my modem is Hayes compatible I have tried the Hayes dialers
- that came with SCO. When I use dialHA96V, I had to remove the
- S50=240 and \r from the default setup. These commands are not
- support by my modem. I get the same results as with dialPP. When
- I use dialHA24 everything works right, except I only run at 2400
- baud.
-
- I think the problem might be related to getty (I may thank this
- only because I don't fully understand this part of UNIX).
-
- If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate any help.
-
- Thank you.
