I still haven't been able to solve this problem, any input would be appreciated. (ps. yes, I've read the modem manual, the FreeBSD Handbook, FAQ, and mail archives - learned a lot, but unfortunately not the answer I'm looking for.) ---------- From: Neil C. Jensen[SMTP:njensen] Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 1996 2:42 PM To: 'questions@freebsd.org' Subject: getty/modem reset problems I'm experiencing a problem with dialin connections to my machine running 2.1R. I can dial-in and establish a ppp connection or terminal connection without problems. However, the next time I dial-in, the modem answers and after 1-2 seconds, promptly disconnects. I can then dial-in again, and connect without incident. This is repeatable. Successful logon, followed by unsuccessful attempt, followed by successful logon, followed by unsuccessful attempt followed by .....(you get the picture) If I try 'tip' after I have had a successful login (i.e. before I get the unsuccessful login) I get a 'link down' message. In addition, there is no sign of getty listening to the port when I do a 'ps' command. After dialing up and being immediately disconnected, I can tip into the modem, and can see the getty process. My modem is a USR Sportster. Is something failing to reset the modem or getty? Why would it be reset by an unsuccessful login? Any advice gratefully received. Thanks in advance.
