Very Computer

Trying to setup one of my customers with a modem. Have tried a US
Robotics 56k and 28.8 modem. Basically what happens is the modem will
answer and depending upon what speed it is set to will either give no
response or a short burst of characters, then nothing. I have followed
the FAQ as far as the AT settings, but still no luck. I looked at SCO's
compatible hardware and only saw a few 28.8 and 33.6 modems. Can anyone
suggest a good solid modem for me to use? I'm running Open Server 5.0.

thanks

We have had EXCELLENT results from Multitech modems.
The MT2834BA are really top-notch.  
If not too much volume on the modem usage, the Multitech ZDX works well also.
If you want to do 4 wire leased line (like connecting remote offices to a
Digi C/X) then the MT2834BL works very well.  That has been our experience.
We probably have over 100+ Multitech modems in the field, and very few
problems.

There's more to it than this, but this would be example settings:
/usr/lib/uucp/Devices:
Direct tty?? - 38400 direct

cu -ltty?? dir
at&f
ats0=1
at&b1
at&w
~.

disable tty??
/etc/inittab
... getty -t60 tty?? o
/etc/conf/init.d/?
... getty -t60 tty?? o
enable tty??
