I hope there's someone out there who knows modems and their
interaction with FreeBSD (or BSD in general). They seem to be
black magic to me.
I'll describe my problem first and then append lines from some
of the relevant files and information about equipment. Please let
me know it there's any information that I should have provided but
did not.
I am trying to set up a microcom DeskPorte FAST (v.34) modem on
my FreeBSD system (Pentium 120 MHz, SCSI, etc.). For historical
reasons, the modem is connected to the second serial port. Please
don't tell me to get a different modem--that isn't an option for
various reasons. The closest I could come if absolutely necessary
would be a microcom DeskPorte 28.8S.
So far, if I tip to the modem (using the command line "tip fake" --
see below), I can talk to it and dial out using atd...
Here are the relevant lines from /etc/ttys:
ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" vt102 on secure
cuaa1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" unknown off secure
To tip to the modem to give it AT commands directly, here is
the relevant section from /etc/remote:
cuaa1:dv=/dev/cuaa1:pa=none:br#57600:
fake:\
:el=^U^C^R^O^D^S^Q:ie=#%$:oe=^D:\
:pa=none:\
:tc=cuaa1:
But if I try to use the acu, here's what I get:
% tip hamlet
Using "/dev/cuaa1"
timeout waiting for reply
tip: can't synchronize with microcom
timeout waiting for reply
timeout waiting for reply
timeout waiting for reply
timeout waiting for reply
timeout waiting for reply
hang up failed
call failed
[EOT]
I'm also unable to have ppp autodial. My guess is that that is a
manifestation of the same problem but, if not, material for another
question later.
But when I try "tip hamlet" as shown above I use:
tip57600:\
:el=^U^C^R^O^D^S^Q:ie=#%$:oe=^D:\
:pa=none:\
:tc=dial57600:
dial57600|57600 Baud Hayes attributes:\
:dv=/dev/cuaa1:br#57600:cu=/dev/cuaa1:at=microcom:du:
hamlet:pn=6673564:tc=tip57600:
I currently have the following in /etc/modems:
microcom|hayes|Microcom Deskporte FAST 28.8K:\
:dial_command=ATDT%s\r:\
:hangup_command=ATH\r:\
:echo_off_command=ATE0\r:\
:reset_command=AT&z3\r:\
:init_string=ATZ3e0v0\r:\
:escape_sequence=+++:\
:hw_flow_control:\
:lock_baud:\
:intercharacter_delay#50:\
:intercommand_delay#250:\
:escape_guard_time#500:\
:reset_delay#2000:
I will append a copy of my modem setup (e.g. user profile 3 which is
what atz3 calls up). Perhaps there's a suitable init string that I
could substitute for what I have that will solve the problem or
perhaps I'm overlooking something that's obvious to everyone else.
My guess is that my problem is something simple that I'm overlooking
but....
Mega-Thanks for any help.
Charlie
PS Here's the modem setup called by atz3 (as seen by Unix script):
