I have a friend who wound up with a bunch of Penril smart modems (no
docs) that he's now trying to use for dialups.  The problem is that
these modems don't seem to have a configuration suitable for dialup
use.  When init opens the line, the Penril will assert DCD, allowing
getty to run, which in turn starts a cycle of login: vs. Penril battles,
since the Penril echoes everything back and tries to interpret each
character as something from its command set.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks...
