Can't get login prompt from modem
Eddy Setiawan
Hi,
We're trying to set-up SCO unix rel 5 as a host computer. After attaching
modem to the box we tried to dial-in. The modem got connected, but
there's no login prompt given. Any character typed at the MS Kermit client
is displayed in the host screen. But there's no login prompt given. Any
idea what need to be set?
Thanks in advance.

As a root user type: "enable ttyxx", where xx is the tty designation of
your unix serial port.
Also, use the upper case tty designation which will then enable modem
hardware control of the port.

Did you add the device to the Devices file? uuinstall, select Devices,
add device <always forgotten!!!!!>

This is interesting...it's exactly the same thing happening to me
on an SCO Fast Start 1.0 machine. I've run the uuinstall, the
device is in the Devices file, in fact, here is the entry:
ACU tty1A - 9600 hayes2400 \D
ACU tty1a - 9600 direct
This is so weird, tty1A is enabled while 1a is disabled.
I get connected, the modem picks up fine and all, but I never
get a login: !?!?
Anyone know the problem?
Thanks.

Any better if you avoid the Chat script, and use an atdialer instead?

Yep
ran ito similar problem because my modem connect string did not match the
connect string specified in the dialerfile.
I.e my modem was answering something like :
CONNECT 28800/V34/COMPRESSION /ARQ/VFC/LAPM
and the connect string expected was a simple 'CONNECT'.
So the modem answered, shooked (shaked??) hands but the dailerfile never
woke the getty up.
My solution was 2fold,
1st, I set up the modem not to talk too much and only blurp 'CONNECT'.
2nd, I changed the dailer file to connect at the getty speed set in the
/etc/inittab when it saw 'CONNECT'.
Hope this helps

Is the modem itself at fault?

Are you running getty - and if so what does inittab and gettydefs say ???

If the connect string returned form the modem DOES NOT match the return
string expected in the atdialer or dialXXX file, the getty will not get
woken up and you will not get a login..
check the dailer you are using, at the bottom are the connect strings.
then use CU, dial in the modem, check with CU to see if the modem response
to a connectionis the same as your dialer string.
I.e. if the dialer expects CONNECT 9600 and your modem returns CONNECT 9600
V32 COMPRESSION, things WILL NOT work. They have to be the same !!
hope this helps

Not the way I read the atdialer.c code. There's a substr() function,
looking to see if the expected string is contained within the actual
returned string.

That's weird then, I use the ardialXXX made from the make.dailer. I *HAD
TO*
change the response from the modem to match the atdialXXX linefor my speed
before I would get a login. I use 5.0.2, the freeware.
I originally asumed the same, as long as there is a 'connect 9600' in the
response string somewhere the dialer should find it, but NOOOOO that didn't
work for me. (whish it would though)
