Ok, this is the situation we have had lately... We have two 16-port boca boards, a Boca Box with 15 boca internal rack modems, and 3 external usr 28.8 modems. All of the boca modems, except for the bottom ones work perfectly. Two of the usr's and about 4 of the bocas give a string of garbage if one connects to them. If you hit enter a few times, you will get a login prompt, but, if you hit enter at the login prompt you lock the modem. Now, we have tried moving the modems around, thinking it was the boca board, and that didn't work, they still messed up. (The usr's at least, will try a boca in a minute.) There is one usr that works, on the second boca board, all the way to the end of it. It is a dialin for a local bbs, and they have not had one bit of trouble with that modem. (The init strings/etc for all usr's are the same, as are the dip switches.) The phone lines are not the problem, as we have tried to move those, also, and we still get the same problem. I have checked through the entire software side, that I can think of, and I cannot see anything out of place for those modems. One question I do have, should we be running the modem() script from rc.serial on our reboots? The file says we shouldn't run it, and currently we do right now. (This is the script portion that uses comcontrol to lock the baud at 115200 and also sets the hardware flow control on.) Anyone have any other areas I can check for possible problems?
