I'm running NetBSD-1.0 on a 486. I have an internal
14.4 modem (SupraExpress, I believe, if that matters), and I
can't communicate with the modem. Can anyone help?
Information:
- The modem is on DOS COM3, IRQ 5.
- I did a MAKEDEV, and /dev/tty02 exists, and is chown'd to
uucp.wheel.
- I added a line in /etc/remote that says:
tty02:dv=/dev/tty02:br#9600:
- /etc/ttys has this to say:
tty02 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure
- I tried the following:
stty -f /dev/tty02 clocal
- The phone is plugged in.
- When I try 'tip tty02', nothing happens for about 5 seconds
or more, then it returns with 'link down'. When I try
'tip tty01', it returns immediately with a 'device not
configured' message. (There was no com1 listed in the boot
messages.)
Does anyone have any suggestions? Could it have
something to do with the /etc/ttys file? Do I need to change
it to 'on', and if so, what do I specify instead of 'unknown'?
I went searching through man files, spent a few minutes looking
through /usr/share/misc/termcap, but I couldn't get enough out
of it to know precisely what I needed to do.
