Hi
I used 'dip' to connect to a terminal server by modem, since I don't know
how to make it work by using tip or cu... However, I have some problems
about using dip now:
1. If I don't execute it as a root, then, when I tried to "port ttyd1", it
will say
DIP> port ttyd1
DIP: tty: lock: (/var/spool/lock/LCKTMP..562): Permission denied
even I have "chmod 777 /dev/ttyd1", it still said permissoin denied...
2. If I execute it as a root, then, everything is fine.
but if I close the window which dip is running, and reopen a new dip
window, then, after I "dip -t" and "port ttyd1",
DIP> port ttyd1
DIP: tty: lock: (/var/spool/lock/LCK..ttyd1): Interrupted system call
Then, I can't make the call anymore.(even I logout and login again..)
I also tried to use ppp after this situation, but it also said
ppp ON ilin> dial host
failed to open modem.
So, what should I do to make my modem "available"?(rebooting is not a
good solution.)
3.I have a problem about ppp. I can use ppp to connect my ISP now. But
the trouble is: I have to dial 0 first to detect the dial tone; in AT
command, it's "atx0". But when I use ppp, I don't know how to do this job
in the script. for example, some part in my ppp.conf is
default:
set device /dev/cuaa1
set speed 14400
disable lqr
deny lqr
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK
\\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
How to add something to let it do "atx0" first? The reason I saked this,
is because my poor telephone line usually can not detect tone, so, I have
to dial 0 manually everytime which is troublesome..
Please give me any suggestion. Thanks.
