From: bask@eris.cs.umb.edu (Brian Pedranti) Subject: HELP on uugetty. Won't reset after lost connection! Date: 23 Sep 1993 15:44:17 GMT
Help! :)
I am not new to Linux,, but I can't figure this one out.
I have a 386-33 8megs RAM 220meg IDE, mono, 10BT ,etc,etc....
And a 14.4k modem as /dev/cua1
I have set up uugetty, so I can dial out with cu, etc....
And I can dialin and either login as a regular user OR login as a SLIP
user and automatically start "dip"
The problem I am having is that if you drop the connection when running
a program (ex. "dip", "ping", etc...) it just hangs the process, instead
of killing it and uugetty respawning.
What gives? The "dip" man page says it will die it it looses carrier.
And if you log out normally it resets fine.
Also in "cu" if you do a ~. the modem resets (showing that DTR is
working correctly).
One other question. How do I setup a Charon LPR process to print BINARY
files to my LJ2 connected to /dev/lp1?
It is a remote lpr request, and it works for text files but not binary
files. Pretty useless for anything with different fonts than my printer.
All help is wanted! :)
