My original question concerned how to add a 28.8 Sportster modem to a Sun
running 4.1.3.
I forgot to mention I am using 4.1.3...sorry.
SUMMARY:
What I did was:
FOR DIAL INS:
Installed patch 100513-04 to fix hardware control problems that wouldn't
allow the serial line to go faster than 19200 baud.
Add a device entry(s) in /dev with:
mknod /dev/ttya c 12 128 (for first modem)
mknod /dev/ttyb c 12 129 (for second modem)
Made a line in /etc/gettytab: k|mdm.9600|9600-baud:p8:sp#9600
(p8 means 8-bit/no parity)
(sp#9600 is the serial port baud rate. I couldn't get modems to work with
the baud rate set any higher.)
Made a line in /etc/ttytab:
for first modem----> ttya "/usr/etc/getty mdm.9600" dialup on remote
for second modem---> ttyb "/usr/etc/getty mdm.9600" dialup on remote
Typed:
eeprom ttya-rts-dtr-off=false
eeprom ttya-ignore-cd=false
eeprom ttyb-rts-dtr-off=false
eeprom ttyb-ignore-cd=false
(You probably should reboot to make these settings take effect but I didn't)
Did a: kill -1 1 (reinitialize the init process)
FOR DIAL OUT:
Added lines to /etc/remote:
cua1:dv=/dev/cua1:at=hayes:p8:br#115200
cua2:dv=/dev/cua2:at=hayes:p8:br#115200
Did a: kill -1 1
The modems do work, however I dunno if this is the correct way of doing
things. For a treatise on the subject check out ftp.zyxel.com the file
/pub/other/zyx_sun.ps.Z.
Good luck!
