Hello, I have a modem which responds to AT commands within minicom but does not display the return codes, i.e. OK, BUSY, NO CARRIER. I am able to dialout but cannot write scripts for mgetty until the modem remote echo displays *something*. Turning on local echo does display the input I type, but the remote echo displays nothing. I've tried two modems both external: Motorola Lifestyle 28.8 (model 3400), and Pratical Peripherals 336 minitower. Both have 25 pin outputs and I have tried to hook them up to both a 9 pin and 25 pin serial port.
Wondering if anybody has come across this modem state. What did you do to fix it? thank you, aaron uname -a Linux aura 2.0.38 #1 Wed Jan 12 13:56:48 GMT 2000 i586 unknown running potato... dpkg -l shellutils minicom Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===============-==============-============================================ ii shellutils 1.16-6.3 The GNU shell programming utilities. ii minicom 1.82.1-1 Clone of the MS-DOS "Telix" communications p stty -a < /dev/ttyS0 speed 115200 baud; rows 0; columns 0; line = 0; intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>; eol2 = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 5; -parenb -parodd cs8 hupcl -cstopb cread clocal -crtscts ignbrk -brkint -ignpar -parmrk -inpck -istrip -inlcr -igncr -icrnl -ixon -ixoff -iuclc -ixany -imaxbel -opost -olcuc -ocrnl -onlcr -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel nl0 cr0 tab0 bs0 vt0 ff0 -isig -icanon -iexten -echo -echoe -echok -echonl -noflsh -xcase -tostop -echoprt -echoctl -echoke /dev/ttyS1 is disabled in the BIOS due to conflict with 3c509 dmesg Serial driver version 4.13p1 with no serial options enabled ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A cat /proc/interrupts 0: 280478 timer 1: 3796 keyboard 2: 0 cascade 3: 2029 3c509 4: 310 + serial 13: 1 math error 14: 14599 + ide0 cat /proc/ioports 0000-001f : dma1 0020-003f : pic1 0040-005f : timer 0060-006f : keyboard 0080-008f : dma page reg 00a0-00bf : pic2 00c0-00df : dma2 00f0-00ff : npu 01f0-01f7 : ide0 0210-021f : 3c509 03c0-03df : vga+ 03f0-03f5 : floppy 03f6-03f6 : ide0 03f7-03f7 : floppy DIR 03f8-03ff : serial(set) f000-f007 : IDE DMA f008-f00f : IDE DMA
