With some systems, it seems to depend upon which device driver you access for
your comm port. Personally, I have echo on and ALL result codes enabled (in
other words, my personal answer to your question is a definite "NO").
Quote:> 3: What about the DTR modem response (&D AT command)?
I'd suspect that AT&D3 would be the safest. If your modem is as strange as
mine, you'll have to settle for AT&D2 (When I use &D3, my modem refuses to
use v.42bis after a disconnection until I send an ATZ again (but that's
another story... :-) )).

Try using /dev/cua0 instead of /dev/ttyS0. It seems to cause less problems for
some people (in fact, I've never been able to use /dev/ttyS? successfully for
over 10 minutes straight (!)).
As an example, here's a copy of my uugetty.cua0 :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYSTEM=reality # naturally, this will be different for you ;->
VERSION=/proc/version
LOGIN=/bin/login
ISSUE=/etc/issue # unrelated to your problems, but it _is_ in mine :-/
CLEAR=NO # preferance. I, personally, don't like the screen
# clearing at the point where this would cause it
# to occur.
HANGUP=YES # this one's well documented.
INIT="" ATZ\r OK ATV1Q0M0&C1&D2\r OK
ALTLINE=ttyS0 # Just because I don't use /dev/ttyS0 doesn't mean I
ALTLOCK=ttyS0 # (or someone else) will never accidentally try to
# grab it. <grin>
INITLINE=cua1
TIMEOUT=60
DELAY=1 # Longer "Login incorrect" delays just serve to
# royally p*ss me off when I'm having one of my
# bad typing days. :-)
WAITFOR=RING # Why depend upon auto-answer when you don't have to?
CONNECT="" ATA\r CONNECT\s\A # Actually, I could care less about what
# follows the "CONNECT" message, becuase I'm
# using a locked bps rate anyway.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition, my /etc/gettydefs and /etc/gettytab are almost exactly the
defaults given in the Slackware 1.0.4 (most likely 1.0.5 too) installation.
The only change I recall making to these files was uncommenting the 38400# line
if it was commented out.
With this configuration, I'm able to use uugetty well along with UUCP 1.04 (?)
and Kermit.
See if this helps you any. :-)
