I recently posted this to the net and asked if >anyone knew for sure whether or not ECHO should or should not be >in the first set of flags, but alas there was no response. i am not qualified to answer for sure if ECHO should or should or should not be in the first set of flags. what i do know is that the gettydefs file on my system does, in fact, have ECHO in the first set of flags. i am running a telebit trailblazer plus, and i am not using hardware flow control. i do not lock the interface speed. i use the HDB uucp package that i originally got from the STORE! (when it was alive.) i am currently running version 3.51m of the operating system, and previously ran version 3.51 with no problems. this setup has worked reliably for over two years or so, with a fair amount of dial-out activity using the cu program, a moderate amount of uucp traffic, and until just recently virtually no dial-ins. since having a second line (a data line) installed about two months ago, i've had some dialins, and still no problems. every couple of days, the telebit leaves for iraq and must be slapped upside the head (read power-cycled) to get it to behave. this is, however, a problem with the early telebits, not the unix-pc. we used to have the same problem with the telebits in the computer center at mips (on computers we manufacture) before we upgraded to the newer model modem. from my /etc/gettydefs: H19200# EXTA BRKINT IGNPAR ISTRIP ECHO OPOST ONLCR # HUPCL BRKINT ISTRIP ICRNL O POST ONLCR EXTA CS8 CREAD ISIG ICANON ECHO ECHOE ECHOK TAB3 #\nlogin: #H2400 from my /etc/inittab: 000:2:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -r -t60 tty000 H19200 i have a collection of files for setting up a trailblazer, from which i obtained the gettydefs entry, and i'll cheerfully make them available to anyone who wants 'em. if the interest is high, i can make it available via anon uucp. better yet, maybe something like this belongs in the osu-cis archives.
