I have a BOCA 16 port modem board running on my FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE system.
I have had it running for about 6 months. I had a few problems when I had
different brands of modems running on the same box, but I removed them and
I have had no problems since. I can give you the specifics of how I set
it up if you want. But it should be almost the same as the digiboard. (I
think i remember patterning the stuff after the digiboard setup.)
I don't believe I had to put anyone in any special groups.
I just had to modify /etc/ttys and /etc/rc.serial
Both files Follow:
Here is my /etc/ttys:
# name getty type status comments
console none unknown off secure
#
ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure
# Virtual terminals
ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure
ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure
ttyv3 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" cons25 on secure
# BocaBoard
ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" dialup on insecure
ttyd2 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" dialup on insecure
ttyd3 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" dialup on insecure
ttyd4 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" dialup on insecure
ttyd5 "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" dialup on insecure
#....
ttydf "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" dialup on insecure
ttydg "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" dialup on insecure
# Pseudo terminals
ttyp0 none network
{SNIP}
Here is /etc/rc.serial:
majorly snipped:
#!/bin/sh
# $Id: rc.serial,v 1.4.4.3 1996/07/02 14:39:34 bde Exp $
default() {
# Reset everything changed by the other functions to initial defaults.
ci=$1; shift # call in device identifier
co=$1; shift # call out device identifier
for i in $*
do
comcontrol /dev/tty$ci$i dtrwait 300 drainwait 0
stty </dev/ttyi$ci$i -clocal crtscts hupcl 9600 reprint ^R
stty </dev/ttyl$ci$i -clocal -crtscts -hupcl 0
stty </dev/cuai$co$i -clocal crtscts hupcl 9600 reprint ^R
stty </dev/cual$co$i -clocal -crtscts -hupcl 0
done
}
#This is the function that initializes all of your modems. I
#Snipped all the other non informative information.
modem() {
# Modem that supports CTS and perhaps RTS handshaking.
ci=$1; shift
co=$1; shift
for i in $*
do
# may depend on modem
comcontrol /dev/tty$ci$i dtrwait 100 drainwait 180
# Lock crtscts on.
# Speed reasonable for V42bis.
stty </dev/ttyi$ci$i crtscts 115200
stty </dev/ttyl$ci$i crtscts
stty </dev/cuai$co$i crtscts 115200
stty </dev/cual$co$i crtscts
done
}
# Edit the functions and the examples to suit your system.
# $1 is the call in device identifier, $2 is the call out device identifier
# and the remainder of the line lists the device numbers.
# Initialize all ports on a Cyclades-8yo.
# modem c c 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
# Initialize all ports on a Cyclades-16ye.
# modem c c 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f
# Initialize all ports on a Digiboard 8.
# modem D D 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
# Initialize specific ports on a BocaBoard 16
modem d a 1 2 3 4 5 f g
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the part that actually initializes the modems. The "d" is for
ttyd* and the "a" is for cuaa* The digiboard uses an uppercase "d".
uncomment the method that does the what you want. I only put in the
numbers that I am actually using. I guess you could put all of them in
there.
I hope this helps.
