Hello.
I set up a machine to accept dial-in modem connections according to the suggestions in the Handbook:
_ I set up my modem so as to lock its speed, don't echo commands, don't give any reply code and auto-answer;
_ I modified rc.serial so as to set-up /dev/ttyd0 as a modem at 57600 bps;
_ through /etc/ttys, I instructed init to spawn a getty process with a terminal type of std.57600;
_ I corrected /etc/gettytab, adding a pp options so as to invoke a script for ppp;
_ I set up ppp.conf for dial-in.
Everything works fine, I can login directly with a terminal emulation program (like cu) or via a ppp connection... for a
while.
After a few days this stops working: ppp cannot pass the login phase and if I connect with cu I see garbage coming from
the remote end instead of the login prompt. If I press any single key, several other garbage chars will come in again.
I tried rebooting the machine, reinvoking rc.serial, power-cycling the modem, HUPping getty, but all this usually fails,
until I finally manage to get it back to work, I don't really know how.
Has anyone had the same problem? Does anyone have any hint to share?
Bye & Thanks a lot
av.
P.S. The modem is an external 3Com 56K.
