Choose a device with modem control, like com2r This device should appear in /etc/ttys with the correct speed for your modem: like 1rLcom2r The device has to be enabled, otherwise there is no getty and you can't dialin. You should send the following AT-Sequence to your modem: ATQ1S0=1 This disables echoing of response codes. Maybe you also need ATE0. This lines you should also write in /etc/modemcap (reinitializing after uucp) to assure that the modem is always in the right modes. If echoing is not disabled getty enters an endless loop. That should help Joachim ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Joachim Riedel joachim@jrix.radig.de Geschwister-Scholl-Strasse 48 D-6050 Offenbach am Main Tel. +49 69 85 62 25 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
