hmm, interesting .. i will play around with the modem more to see if i can get the port speeds to match up. i dont remember what the portspeed was when i was checking it today..i THINK the modem was 57600 and the pc was 38400..i hope so..this has been a bigger headache then i thought it would be..and its getting harder and harder to find a good modem for linux!! ack, would anyone know where to get a diamond supramax 56i ? i have had good luck with those and now when i get supramax i get some weird model#, got 3 new ISA modems today which look to be winmodems i thought i was getting 56i's :(
thanks for the info, i *hope* the speeds are wrong so it fixes it ;)) nate On Mon, 3 Jan 2000, Nate Duehr wrote: nate >Actually Nate, I usually see trash like that when the port speed is nate >wrong between the modem and the machine. nate > nate >On Mon, Jan 03, 2000 at 12:50:13PM -0800, aphro wrote: nate >> I have an internal modem(not sure what brand) that works fine, but i want nate >> to switch to an external incase the modem needs a hard reset we dont have nate >> to shut the machine down. nate >> nate >> Its been sooo many years since i used an external modem so im kinda rusty. nate >> nate >> sofar, i got it to communicate with the sportster (both minicom and nate >> mgetty) i can get minicom to establish a terminal connection and transfer nate >> a file(by connecting with another computer and hitting 'ATA' when i saw nate >> the 'RING') the file transferred fine so i assume the modem is good. but nate >> when mgetty tries to answer i get this: nate >> nate >> nate >> 01/03 10:50:45 yS0 waiting for line to clear (VTIME), read: [0d][0a] nate >> 01/03 10:50:46 yS0 removing lock file nate >> 01/03 10:50:46 yS0 waiting... nate >> 01/03 10:50:46 yS0 select returned 1 nate >> 01/03 10:50:46 yS0 checking lockfiles, locking the line nate >> 01/03 10:50:46 yS0 makelock(ttyS0) called nate >> 01/03 10:50:46 yS0 do_makelock: lock='/var/lock/LCK..ttyS0' nate >> 01/03 10:50:46 yS0 lock made nate >> 01/03 10:50:46 yS0 wfr: waiting for ``RING'' nate >> 01/03 10:50:46 yS0 nate >> got: x[fe][00][80]x[00][ff][80][80][f8]x[e0][80][80][80][f8][00]x[fe][00][80]x[00][ff]x[fe][00][80]x[00][ff][80][80][f8]x[e0][80][80][80][f8][00]x[fe][00][80]x[00][ff] nate >> 01/03 10:50:56 yS0 mdm_read_byte: read returned -1: Interrupted system nate >> call nate >> 01/03 10:50:56 yS0 wfr: timeout waiting for RING nate >> 01/03 10:50:56 yS0 wfr: rc=-1, drn=0 nate >> 01/03 10:50:56 yS0 huh?
