--=====================_861399785==_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" If possible could someone please take a look at the following attachment. In it is detailed my correspondance with one or two of your members concerning a problem I am having setting up dialin service on a FreeBSD box I have at school. Thanks for your time, any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Omkar V. Shertukde --=====================_861399785==_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="getty" I'm no expert, but here's my tip... Try "cu -l /dev/cuaa1" and see if you can talk to your modem (use AT commands). At least that way you'll be sure the modem is hooked up right. You'll need to disable the getty to try this. -HS I'm trying to set up dial-in service on a FreeBSD box I have at school. I have followed your directions and modified /etc/ttys and checked the gettytab, but I still do not have a getty on my modem device. My modem device is on ttyd1 and the device itself is cuaa1. The following is the line from /etc/ttys: ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" vt100 on secure If any more information is needed to diagnose/remedy this problem mail me at oshertuk@smhs.ebrps.subr.edu . Thanks.

I though I had this problem. Try a ps -gaxuw | grep ttyd1. the problem is, that the getty for modem connections doesn't run connected to the port. at least, until you actually dial in and the login: prompt get's spit out accross the connection. Are you sure you're modem's set to auto-answer? If not, enter the appropriate switches using tip, the go try and dialin. The getty is probably running, it's just that a ps -agO user (which is my standard command) doesn't pick it up because it's not a standard system process, and it's not attached to a port. If any of this is flawed or doesn't work, it's not my fault; I'm not a part of the core team, I don't know the source by heart; all I know is, I got it to work like this. Hope it helps!! The ps commands gives us the following: root 235 0.0 3.4 152 488 ??

Also to disable the getty, I just edit /etc/ttys and turn the switch to off, Correct? Thanks. Hi Omkar, Use the "cu" command to connect to the port before trying the "at" commands. Henry Alright, I diasbled the getty and typed in "AT". The error message was command not found. I type in "at" and get usage info. Any ideas? Thank you for all of help. Omkar V.

I'm out of tips here... Try reposting your question with your updated situation. -Henry OK I tried "cu" and it didn't work... I tried minicom and my modem responded just fine. It dialed out, no problem. Now what should I try? Omkar V. Shertukde --=====================_861399785==_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" --=====================_861399785==_--
