by Hello, I am trying to setup uugetty (Slackware 3.0) to accept
incoming calls on my system. Here is my dilemma: Whenever a user logs off
uugetty fails to respawn, and through the debug it shows that it hangs
at opening the port (/dev/cua1) and stops answering. I have to kill the
uugetty process manually to get it working again. What is wierd is when I
specify ttysnoops as the login program via the /etc/default/uugetty.ttyS1
everything works fine. I am using a USR Sportster 288, a very old one (not
likely the new ones that have some sort of 'problem' I hear). My init
string is as follows:
AT&F1&D3&C1&S0&A0H0E1Q0V1X3S0=0
The serial-Howto, stated that I use &D2 and S13=1, which I also
tried, and that resulted in something really wierd. The modem would answer
correctly the first time, then the user logs off. When another call comes
in, the modem picks up the phone 'silently', it gives no carrier signal,
and is just mute, like it is just picking up the phone. From then on all
the calls are answered this way, with no successful connections. I have no
idea why this happens on the SECOND answer and not the first. Once I use
the init string stated above, the modem goes back to normal (but still
* at opening the port after the first user logs off). If anyone can
help I'd really appreciate it. Right now I am using ttysnoops as the login
program, and that seems to fix it... Thanks!
