I just got a trailblazer for our MicroVAX II ("motto"), and I'm trying
to switch from our Hayes-compatible 1200 baud modem to this modem.

But I can't get my trailblazer to work.  It will talk in all the baud rates
I want it to if I hook up a terminal to it and try it... autobauding
is fine.  It also answers and connects properly when I dial manually, no
matter what baud rate.

The problem lies in getting our uVAX to talk to it properly.  We're running
Ultrix V2.0-1, and it's coming off a port that is was configured at 1200
baud, and is now configured for 9600 baud.

Excerpts from pertinent files:

/etc/ttys:
ttyd0 "/etc/getty D9600" dialup on modem shared

/etc/acucap:
#Telebit Trailblazer 19200 baud modem.
# (touch tone dialing)
#

The modem port on motto seems to drop DTR every so often, and that (I think)
is a big part of what's causing the problem.

After making changes to /etc/ttys, I sent a "kill -HUP" to init so it would
restart the getty processes, but a protocol analyzer showed that the port
was still talking at 1200 baud.  I wonder if this is just a limitation
of Ultrix... or if I need to reboot...

I tried adding a null modem between motto and the trailblazer, but that just
made things worse.

Any suggestions?
