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.

Andrew, You do not need to modify gettytab or rc.serial, (at least I didnt need to in 2.0.5 or 2.1), the only file you should need to modify is /etc/ttys My /etc/ttys line reads :- ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" dialup on insecure This is for a 28.8kbs modem on COM2 (is your modem on COM3 cause thats the port your config files point to.) As your modem is only 14.4kbs, you prolly will want to substitute the 38400 for 19200. You should initilize you modem using tip or from DOS with :- at&f at&k3/n3%c3s0=2&w (I think this is the default for your modem anyway) Anthony Hill connect.com.au
