I'm having some difficulties getting my external USR 14.4 Sportster =
modem to work. I've read the handbook, FAQ, and searched the archives, =
all to no avail. Here's the situation:
- FreeBSD 2.1R
- modem connected to serial port 2
- output of dmesg: sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa
sio1: type 16450 =20
- all the necessary devices files are in /dev
- gettytab contains: g|std.19200|19200-baud:\
:np:sp#19200: =20
- ttys contains: ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" dialup on =
- output of stty -a -f /dev/cuaa1:
speed 9600 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns;
lflags: -icanon -isig -iexten -echo -echoe -echok -echoke -echonl

output of ps ax |grep 'ttyd1':

If I set the modem up with the DIP switches as recommended in the =
Handbook (i.e. only #4 ON), the AA and CS lights on the modem are on. I =
'cu -s 19200 -l /dev/cuaa1' and get a connected status, however, none of =
my commands seem to affect the modem. The escape sequence will not let =
me exit, I have to suspend the program and then kill it. I have =
duplicated exactly the commands stated in the handbook, all to no =
effect. If I try to login from another modem, the modem doesn't answer =
and the AA light goes off. At no point can I get the computer to send a =
DTR signal to the modem (i.e. the TR light remains off).
While trying to get this to work over the last week, I have managed to =
dial out under tip, and even connect from an external modem =
(unfortunately with no login) if I cheated and used the DIP switch to =
set the DTR signal on. But never have I been able to make it work like =
it all should, and now I am back at the beginning.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Please respond directly to me, as I am =
not on the mailing list.
Thanks in advance for your efforts.
