So far, we can only dial out. Last time I got dial-in/dial-out modems working on Suns was SunOS 2.0 But as I recall - you need a ribbon cable connecting every pin on the modem to every pin on the Sun serial port. You also have to set the modem up to be Hayes compatible. (or VenTel) Also set these modes: Hardware DTR Numeric Results Send results code No echo commands Answer incomming calls Hardware carrier detect Connection to RJ11 Modular Jack Enable COmmand Recognition. There also has to be a special flag set in the config file for the kernal. Something like: device zs0 at mb0 csr 0xeec800 flags 0x3 priority 2 flags (was 0x3) has to be changed to enable hardware carier detect: 0x2 - hardware carrier detect on ttya 0x1 - hardware carrier detect on ttyb 0x0 - hardware carrier detect on ttya & ttyb After building the new kernal, you have to create the devices with the different minor device numbers. See page 159, Chapter 5 Adding Hardware to your system - Sun System Administration manual. And also - make sure the /etc/ttys entry has a 1 (not a 0) for the serial port. Once it is done, you will only see the getty process when the carrier detect line is enabled. When the carrier detect is not there, you can use tip to dial out. As I said - this is from memory.
