USR Sportster 28.8 and Brian's CYB driver for the Cyclades don't get along. After working with what seems to be hundreds of different modems, I just happen to recently hook up a USR Sportster 28.8 (33.6) to a Cyclades 16Y and it didn't work! It's my first experience with the USR Sportster. After about 8 hours of analysis I'm still at loss as to why it doesn't work correctly. The manifeststation of the problem is that for most applications it works fine, but under mgetty 0.22, mgetty can't talk to it. It seems to be a DTR/hardware handshaking problem. At the time the Sportster is having problems, I can pull the serial cable off, and plug it into any number of other modems and it works fine. About a month ago a number of people reported troubles that sounded similar to what I have just experienced. Were you using USR Sportster modems? I've also found that if you set the Sportster to ignore DTR, and rely on mgetty's use of '+++' to hangup the line things work ok. -- Brian Litzinger Powered by FreeBSD <brian@mediacity.com> http[s]://www.mpress.com speakfree.mpress.com [use -t (GSM)] How to program in c++: //
