I just picked up a 28.8 USR Sporster External mode.  Dial out is
working fine.  But dialing in has some problems. Outside callers can
connect directly; the modem answers, but the 'login' never appears.
They just get a blank screen. Hitting return does cause the RD & SD
lights to light up, but still they get no 'login' prompt.

I tried changing the NVRAM value from 'B0' (ITU-T V.25) to 'B1' (U.S.
Answer Tone). This allows outside calls to get the login & password
prompt, and successfully login, but the 'B1' won't allow me to
dialout; I can't connect to my isp's. It's either dialin only or dialout 
only.

My previous modem, a USR Sportster 14.4 Internal worked fine. So I
kept the init strings & NVRAM values from that modem. And /etc/login.access
is still setup to allow outside logins.

Currently, the DIP switches are all off except for #3 "result code
display", & #8 "AT command set recognition".

I've set /etc/ttys to:

	ttyd1	"/usr/libexec/getty std.115200"

as well as std.28800, std.19200, & std.2400, with no luck.

Dmesg reports sio1 as type 16450, while under the internal 14.4 sio1
was type 16550A.  
So my question here is are 28.8 USR Externals just plain dogs; something
to be returned?  Or is there some hidden file I still have to configure
for this faster modem?

Thanks
