Lines: 20 I asked this in comp.sys.ibm.pc.rt a few days ago and got no response, so I'll try here. I'm trying to get an internal modem to work as a dial-in on an RT running AIX 2.2.1. The problem is that I can't find out how to send an initialization string to it to get it to go into auto answer mode. I've tried just using echo to send strings to /dev/tty0 (the device for the modem) but this seems to hang. I've been all through the "Managing..." manual without finding out how to do this. They seems to assume that you will use an external modem with switch settable properties. Can anyone help? --phil-- -- Phil Windley | windley@cheetah.cs.uidaho.edu Department of Computer Science | windley@ted.cs.uidaho.edu University of Idaho | Moscow, ID 83843 | Phone: (208) 885-6501
