A simple solution is to make sure that there is an "A" somewhere in the login prompt sent to your modem. Here is a piece of my /etc/gettydefs: 3 # B2400 HUPCL OPOST NL1 ECHOE # B2400 CS8 SANE HUPCL -CLOCAL TAB3 IXANY ECHOE #\r\nA T Engineering\r\nlogin: # 2 Notice the "A" in the prompt? Hayes-compatible modems key on that particular letter and automatically change to the correct baud rate. -- Chip Salzenberg or A T Engineering My employer may or may not agree with me.
