Well, I configure modems as follows: 1) full hardware handshaking (RTS/CTS, DTR, CD all enabled, etc) 2) locked port rate (384/576/115200) 3) set modem to reset to default state on CD drop/DTR raise or whatever it is capable of, if it is capable of it. 4) reset gettytab to do 8n1 (I don't think the default is). 5) go. :-) 90% of what I do is to make sure that the modem is in a "compatible" mode with what I am trying to do... if you can cu to the modem, you either have a messed up gettytab, ttys, or the modem is thinking that the computer wants to be talking at a different speed than reality. ...
