Lines: 46 Message-ID: <4miod4$fjt@excalibur.pubserv.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: excalibur.pubserv.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I am dialing in to a BSD 2.0.1 machine (100 MHz Pentium) using PPP. The BSD host has a 28.8 Sportster modem, while I am using a 14.4. My resulting connection ends up at 9600 baud, probably due to the following /etc/gettytab script, called by /etc/ttys for all dialin ports: (begin excerpt) bbs.115200:\ :im=\r\n\r\nBBS Server (%h)\r\n\r\nLogin (...)\r\n:\ :sp#115200:nx=bbs.76800:hf: bbs.76800:\ :im=\r\n\r\nBBS Server (%h)\r\n\r\nLogin (...)\r\n:\ :sp#76800:nx=bbs.57600:hf: bbs.57600 :im=\r\n\r\nBBS Server (%h)\r\n\r\nLogin (...)\r\n:\ :sp#57600:nx=bbs.38400:hf: bbs.38400:\ :im=\r\n\r\nBBS Server (%h)\r\n\r\nLogin (...)\r\n:\ :sp#38400:nx=bbs.19200:hf: bbs.19200:\ :im=\r\n\r\nBBS Server (%h)\r\n\r\nLogin (...)\r\n:\ :sp#19200:nx=bbs.9600:hf: bbs.9600:\ :im=\r\n\r\nBBS Server (%h)\r\n\r\nLogin (...)\r\n:\ :sp#9600:nx=bbs.4800:hf:( :im=\r\n\r\nBBS Server (%h)\r\n\r\nLogin (...)\r\n:\ (end excerpt) This method is safe for a variety of bulletin board users, but I would like to set at least one port up for faster PPP access. (And according to the above, when I start dialing in with a 28.8, I'll still only get 19.2!). Can anyone help me set one port up properly? Perhaps there's a way to let ppp handle it, without /etc/ttys? --rich ________________________________________________________ Richard Mann Publication Services, Inc.
