I'm having some difficulties getting my external USR 14.4 Sportster modem to work. I've read the handbook, FAQ, and searched the archives, all to no avail. Here's the situation:
- FreeBSD 2.1R
- modem connected to serial port 2
- output of dmesg: sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa
sio1: type 16450
- all the necessary devices files are in /dev
- gettytab contains: g|std.19200|19200-baud:\
:np:sp#19200:
- ttys contains: ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.19200" dialup on
- output of stty -a -f /dev/cuaa1:

eol2 = <undef>; erase = ^?; intr = ^C; kill = ^U; lnext = ^V;
min = 1; quit = ^\; reprint = ^R; start = ^Q; status = <undef>;
stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; time = 0; werase = ^W;
output of ps ax |grep 'ttyd1':
234 ?? I 0:00.05 /usr/libexec/getty std.19200 ttyd1
If I set the modem up with the DIP switches as recommended in the Handbook (i.e. only #4 ON), the AA and CS lights on the modem are on. I 'cu -s 19200 -l /dev/cuaa1' and get a connected status, however, none of my commands seem to affect the modem. The escape sequence will not let me exit, I have to suspend the program and then kill it. I have duplicated exactly the commands stated in the handbook, all to no effect. If I try to login from another modem, the modem doesn't answer and the AA light goes off. At no point can I get the computer to send a DTR signal to the modem (i.e. the TR light remains off).
While trying to get this to work over the last week, I have managed to dial out under tip, and even connect from an external modem (unfortunately with no login) if I cheated and used the DIP switch to set the DTR signal on. But never have I been able to make it work like it all should, and now I am back at the beginning.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Please respond directly to me, as I am not on the mailing list.
Thanks in advance for your efforts.
