by We purchased a 14.4k modem for dialin to our DecStation 5000 running
Ultrix 4.2 or 4.3 (we have three workstations). Later, we got a second
phone line, but I have still not been able to plug the 14.4 into any of
the decs. We have a 2400 bps modem that works fine. For the 14.4, I
edited /etc/ttys and ran getty std.19200. I connected a line to a mac and
to a PC to see if they could talk (they did, it works fine.) When I
attach the modem, however, the dec either constantly prints the login
message to the port (forcing a hangup just after the automatic answer) or
just sits there after the connect 14400 pops up. To mimimize the dec's
confusion, I tried to minimize the output from the modem to the dec (RING,
RING, etc was eliminated). A couple times I managed to have it print out
garbage like ||||||||||~x||| when I hit return, but I couldn't ever get an
intelligent reply from it. Has anyone connected a high-speed "smart"
modem to a decStation? Does anyone have any suggestions? Does anyone
know if the DTE speed can be set above 19,200 bps (the modem goes up to
57,600). Thanks for any suggestions in advance.
