Dial-in service FreeBSD 3.2 04/03/2000
A. B. Wallace <awallace@physics.angelo.edu>
Most modems come preset for dial-out service. To make your modem
answer incoming calls, several steps need to be taken.
1. Install your modem.
2. Edit /etc/rc.serial to reflect the proper port for your modem.
Uncomment the line modem d a 1 for a modem on COM2. If your
modem is on COM1, edit the line to read modem d a 0. Be sure
to check the speed settings in the modem() section to see if
they are reasonable. Most V32's should be set to 38400 and
V42's to 56700.
3. Check to see if your modem's port is listed in /etc/remote.
Make sure the device file points to the correct port. For a
V42 modem on COM2, the line should read
cuaa1:dv=/dev/cuaa1:br#57600:pa=none:
4. Use tip in FreeBSD to set the modem's nvram for echo off (E0),
no result codes (Q1), and auto answer (&S0=1). Then write the
current profile to nvram and reboot the machine. Here is the
AT command sequence. AT commands must be typed in separately.
at&v show current profile
ate0 turn off echo
atq1 turn off result codes
at&s0=1 turn on auto answer
at&y0 load new profile on boot
at&w0 write new profile
5. Reboot your machine to load the new modem profile.
6. Edit /etc/ttys and uncomment the proper dial-in port line
and set dialup to on. Be sure to set your speed according to
your modem. For V32's, the line should read something like
ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" dialup on insecure
For V42's, set the speed to std.57600.
7. Start the getty process on your modem by typing kill -1 1 or
kill -HUP 1. The output from ps ax should show a line running
a getty process on the modem's port.
935 ?? I 0:00.02 /usr/libexec/getty std.38400 ttyd1
8. Test the dial-in connection from another machine. If all is
correct, you should get a login prompt.
