I have setup a FreeBSD 2.1.5 box which has a modem for dialin access. The modem is a Vfast Class 28.8 The com ports only have 8250 uarts. I am using stty to set crtscts on the com ports. In /etc/ttys I have set the getty to std.38400 for each com port. (No = changes have been made to /etc/gettytab) I have followed the section in = the handbook on setting up dialin access and am still having problems. My problem is this: I cannot connect unless I set the getty speed to = std.9600 in /etc/ttys, and force the modem to connect at 9600. This will = give me a login prompt. Any other speed (28.8, 14.4) yields garbage. I suspect that the problem is occurring because the speed between the = computer and modem is different from the speed that the modems = negotiate. Can you shed any light on this problem? Changing the entry in /etc/ttys = to std.19200 and connecting at 14.4 hasn't helped either. I would really = like to take advantage of the faster speeds instead of being limited to = 9600baud. Thanking you in anticipation.
