Very Computer

Dear Linuxers -

I am having a problem getting getty_ps to work with my modem.  When I try
to dial in from a remote machine, the modem seems to be recognizing the
incoming call, because it causes a RING on my Seyon terminal, but uugetty
won't pick up on ttyS1 (my modem is on my second serial port, as I have serial
mouse on the first)

However - it won't connect from the remote machine.

Here is my /etc/inittab file:

#
# inittab       This file describes how the INIT process should set up
#               the system in a certain run-level.
#

#

#
# Default runlevel.
id:5:initdefault:

# System initialization (runs when system boots).
si:S:sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.S

# Script to run when going single user.
su:S:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc.K

# Script to run when going multi user.
rc:123456:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc.M

# What to do at the "Three Finger Salute".
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -rf now

# What to do when power fails (shutdown to single user).
pf::powerfail:/sbin/shutdown -f +5 "THE POWER IS FAILING"

# If power is back before shutdown, cancel the running shutdown.
pg:0123456:powerokwait:/sbin/shutdown -c "THE POWER IS BACK"

# If power comes back in single user mode, return to multi user mode.
ps:S:powerokwait:/sbin/init 5

# The getties in multi user mode on consoles an serial lines.
#
# NOTE NOTE NOTE adjust this to your getty or you will not be
#                able to login !!
#
# Note: for 'agetty' you use linespeed, line.
# for 'getty_ps' you use line, linespeed and also use 'gettydefs'
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty tty1 VC console
c2:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty tty2 VC console
c3:45:respawn:/sbin/getty tty3 VC console
c4:45:respawn:/sbin/getty tty4 VC console
c5:45:respawn:/sbin/getty tty5 VC console
c6:456:respawn:/sbin/getty tty6 VC console

# Serial lines
S1:45:respawn:/sbin/uugetty ttyS1 38400
#s2:45:respawn:/sbin/agetty 19200 ttyS1

# Dialup lines
#d1:45:respawn:/sbin/uugetty ttyS1 38400
#d2:45:respawn:/sbin/agetty -mt60 38400,19200,9600,2400,1200 ttyS1

# Runlevel 6 used to be for an X-window only system, until we discovered
# that it throws init into a loop that keeps your load avg at least 1 all
# the time. Thus, there is now one getty opened on tty6. Hopefully no one
# will notice. ;^)
# It might not be bad to have one text console anyway, in case something
# happens to X.
x1:6:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc.6

# End of /etc/inittab
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
and here is my /etc/gettydefs file

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, when I shutdown, as in shutdown -r now, the uugetty process
doesn't terminate cleanly, but rather goes into a segmentation fault...

Can anyone tell me where to find some more information???

Otherwise, just reply to the newsgroup   THANK YOU!!!

Everybody has problems with getty_ps.
Use mgetty instead, and be kind to your brain.

Looks like you still don't know everybody :-). Getty_ps is working fine for me
so why should I switch to mgetty ....

If you think uugetty configuration is difficult, try sendmail.
Anyway, just keep plugging along and isolating the problem.  Turn on
debugging and dig through /usr/adm/messages.  Here is my setup which works
well; it even allows efax to send faxes upon request.  Be sure you're using
the most recent version of getty_ps; I had wierd problems with an older one.

Can you tell me how? My getty_ps seems to think my phone is off the hook at
all times...

Where can I get mgetty?

Sounds like your modem is set up with DCD always on.  It needs to
follow the carrier.  On hayes-compatibles the command is 'at&c1'.
