From: dvldbg@cs.umu.se (Daniel Brahneborg) Subject: getty on the serial port? Date: Fri, 29 May 1992 00:57:22 GMT
After hours of trying, I've given up. Somebody wrote here that he had
managed to get getty to work with his modem. Could he (or somebody
else) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me exactly how he did it? I'd like
the complete /etc/inittab and /etc/rc, and maybe even a getty,
if you need another version than the one in the mcc-distribution (0.95c+).
Now I have 0.96a, but all the programs are still from 0.95c+.
If I put this entry in /etc/inittab:
tty64:vt100:/bin/getty -h 2400 ttys0
(I might have forgotten something, this is from memory)
I get a process that keeps sending stuff to the modem, but when noone
answers, it dies, and I get a new process.
When somebody calls he immediately get the data from getty, which
makes the modem hang up (it doesn't want anything to happen while
connecting). If I deleted the entry in inittab and started getty manually
right after I heard that the modem had connected, everything went fine.
That's not a very good solution, though.
