Hello All!!!
I am kind of confused (as usual) on a couple of things and I hope someone
out there can help me out.
1. Is it not the "CORRECT" way to configure a communications port to
just leave it as /dev/tty02. I have noticed in different documents
that different device identifiers (definitions) are used, such as
/dev/cua2, /dev/ttyd2. Right now I am just using the tty devices
for everything I want to do and just changing the /etc/ttys file
as required. If I should use these other device names how do I go
about configuring them?
2. In setting up PPP on my system I modeled my scripts after the ppp
document in the FAQ area (document by Grennady B. Sorokopud).
One thing I have noticed is that I have to (before starting the
script) issue a &C &D for it to work. If I don't kermit (or anything
else for that matter) will not return from /dev/tty02 and upon
completion of the kermit.dial (quit) the modem hangs up. My question
is: is this how this is suppose to work or am I not configuring
something correctly?
3. Now this question may go inline with the above (meaning the fix
{if any}) for 2 will fix this. How do you correctly use the
pppd with the chat command. I have gone over both the pppd and
chat man pages and I have tried every different options that I can
think of and have not be able for it to work. It does access the
modem (I see the TR light come on) but no commands are send to
the modem. Basically I have tried:
pppd /dev/tty02 57600 connect 'chat atdt999 connect ogin: bla'
Well those are my main concerns right now. I hope I am not asking
something really stupid but I would really apprecaite some assistance.
Thanks...
Duane
