I'm losing hair rapidly while trying to get serial logins configured on
tty00. I have a USR28.8K on port 0 of a MultifaceIII card (tty02) and an
Intel <yuk> 14.4K on tty00. The (apparent) problems are as follows:
I can't seem to get anything to read /etc/uucp/Dialers for an init string.
The file needs to be there, or nothing will function (obviously).
/etc/uucp/Devices:
ACU tty00 - 19200 intel
ACU tty01 - 38400 hayes
ACU tty02 - 38400 hayes
/etc/uucp/Dialers:
hayes =,-, "" \dA\pTE1V1X1Q0S2=255S12=255\r\c OK\r \EATDT\T\r\c CONNECT
#intel =,-, "" \dA\pTE1V1X1Q0S2=255S12=255\r\c OK\r \EATDT\T\r\c CONNECT
intel ATZ\r
Whatever I seem to change these to doesn't matter - it seems like it's
never read. The format is from a "stock" file on a BDSI system.
/etc/ttys:
console "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt200 off secure
ttye0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt200 on secure # custom chips
tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" dialin on secure # int. serial.
#tty01 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" unknown off secure # mfc3 port 0
#tty02 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" unknown off secure # mfc3 port 1
I've tried changing to std.9600 and different tty types with no effect.
/etc/gettytab:
default:\
:ap:fd#1000:im=\r\n%s/%m (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\n:sp#1200:
g|std.19200|19200-baud:\
:sp#19200:
I can't find any fault with my cfg files, with the exception of the init
problem in Dialers. Am I missing something? (I have little to no experience
with UUCP) BTW, the port works fine for dialout via cu, kermit, etc. if
flagged to off in ttys.
If I set the modem to E1, the send & receive lights stay on solidly, except
during disk access (?), when they correspond to the drive light. Also, getty
spawns a login process immediately, with a hunk of my login prompt
("NetBSD/amiga (xor) login:") as input. This shows up as something on the
order of "login -p iga (xor" in the process list.
When set to E0, things look much better - the send/receive lights are off,
and getty doesn't always spawn a login when nothing's there. It happily sits
and waits, but then upon connect, I once again get a login with crap.
It seems obvious that for some reason the info being sent over the line
gets echoed back and is picked up as input, but I can't figure out why.
I get good connects with proper "CONNECT 14400 etc" messages on the
caller's end, but just garbage ("~~~ff") after that and nothing I type is
echoed back.
Can anybody suggest where my problem may lie? Thanks in advance...
