I have a 486/33 PC on which I am running FreeBSD & XFree86 (the Walnut Creek CDROM distribution). I have it set up as a dual boot system, the other OS is MSDOS/Windoze. I also have an internal Intel 14.4i modem. Under DOS/Windoze, the modem works perfectly, under FreeBSD I have a problem. I'm using Kermit to operate the modem. I start Kermit, set modem hayes, set line /dev/tty02 (MSDOS COM3), set speed 2400, and dial my number (e.g., Compuserve). I can hear the modem dial up the number and make the connection. After the connection is established, I DO NOT receive the remote login prompt or any other information on the screen. If I use the Kermit escape sequence to jump back to the Kermit command line, and issue the command "connect", approx. a dozen characters from the remote system will I appear on the screen. If I hit the space bar a few times and then the return key, I will get another dozen or so characters. If I ignore what I see on the screen and type in my login name, password, etc., I can login, but I never receive more than about a dozen characters at a time from the remote system. I have read the FAQ, and I believe that I have correctly followed the procedures outlined in it (e.g., stty clocal). If I issue the command "stty -f /dev/tty02" BEFORE starting Kermit I receive the following output: speed 9600 baud; lflags: -icanon -isig -iexten -echo iflags: -icrnl -ixon -ixany -imaxbel -brkint oflags: -opost -onlcr -oxtabs cflags: cs8 -parenb clocal After starting Kermit, setting line speed, and dialing a number, the stty settings are: speed 2400 baud; lflags: -icanon -isig -iexten -echo iflags: -icrnl ixoff -ixany -imaxbel ignbrk -brkint ignpar oflags: -opost -onlcr -oxtabs cflags: cs8 -parenb My /etc/ttys file is: # # @(#)ttys 5.1 (Berkeley) 4/17/89 # # name getty type status comments # vga "/usr/X386/bin/xdm-nodes -nodaemon" pc3 on secure #console "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" pc3 on secure tty00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure tty01 "/usr/libexec/getty D1200n" mouse off secure tty02 none unknown off secure tty03 none unknown off secure ttyp0 none network (remaining ttyp* entries deleted) Looking at the stty results, I can see that I am losing the clocal setting after dialing the number. But I don't know why. Is this the cause of my problems? Does anyone have any suggestions. Thanks in advance...Dean
