I am using Chris's com-beta multiport package (though i don't have any multi-port boards nor sharing irq on different boards). Dialing out goes well. When I use tip and then dial in, the modem answers exactly when you'd expect it to (after the nr of rings in s0). But when you dial in when only the getty runs, then I have different behaviour. I've seen: 1) The modem answers after a random number of rings, so i suspect DTR is randomly dropping 2) When the modem actually answers the call, sometimes getty still hangs on the open call. I can use tip to get a connection with the caller to tell him/her it failed....not a solution actually. 3) I made an ioctl call that reported the modem status bits, without having to open the comport that the getty was trying to open. It also gave back some of the values that are used in the driver (among others, the com_bdi structure). When I used the ioctl call a few times, my sytem panics because of a timeout table overflow (I believe in kern_clock.c) Don't know why the panic comes.. 4) Another thing: sometimes i can't even tip out, because it says all ports are busy. comcontrol <device> -bidir;comcontrol <device> bidir makes it work again.. My question: is there someoen out there using some driver to dial in AND dial out succesfully? If so, could you please mail me how you did it? My system is 0.1, patchkit 0.2, cgd's com-beta, codrv, npx0.2. -Guido -- Guido van Rooij | Internet: guido@gvr.win.tue.nl Bisschopsmolen 16 | Phone: ++31.40.461433 5612 DS Eindhoven | ((12+144+20)+3*sqrt(4))/7
