Now I need some help with setting up my modem. The machine has on com port which is recognized as sio0 with a 16450 UART at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq4 on isa. The modem is a USRobotic Courrier V.32bis with ASL. The modem dipswitches are as follows 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 d u d u d d u d u u I have the minor device number for /dev/tty00 is 28 After booting, I issue the following command. stty -f /dev/tty00 clocal. This command appears to work as it returns no errors. In the ttys file, I have the following; tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty mod.9600" unknown on modem" The remote file is the default from the installation. The problem is this, when I try to tip or use kermit, the recieve data and send data lights flash, but the modem never goes off hook. What am I doing wrong. I would like to configure this line to be dial out. Thanks in advance for your help Gene
