Hi,

As a forerunner to setting up PPP I am trying to get a plain terminal dial in working.  When I dial up the unix the modem answers and spews out 'crap' ie.  The type of characters you never knew existed.  If I use watch to look at the ttyd I get the login prompt on the watch screen.  Using watch, everything acts normally and if I get output on stdout, corrosponding (in volume) 'crap' appears on the dial in terminal window.  Typing anything (ie. returns) on the dial in window makes the 'rd' light on the modem flash, but nothing appears on the watch window.  The appropriate line in /etc/ttys reads :
	ttyd2	"/usr/libexec/getty V19200"	dialup on secure
The appropriate line in /etc/gettytab reads :
	<Taken from handbook for 14.4 modem>
The appropriate line in /etc/rc.serial reads :
	stty -f /dev/ttyid2 crtscts

I am running FreeBSD 2.1, the modems are both Avtek Mega DataFax 144.

Thanks,
Andrew.
