Organization: Point of Presence & MCS Hamburg Date: Sat, 28 Nov 1992 12:55:51 GMT Message-ID: <chk.722955351@mcshh.hanse.de> Sender: news@mcshh.Hanse.DE (News Administrator) Lines: 37 Hi, I have to configure a dialup line on my machine. The params should be 8N1 and the getty should be carrier sensitive, which means to print the banner only when a carrier is detected and to kill a login process and restart when carrier drops. 1.) It's impossible via std.getty to setup 8N1. Will there be a (un)official replacement ? I have a hacked version that supports 8N1, but that seems to be more a hack than a real release. 2.) The getty/the login process is not carrier sensitive. login holds the line even if carrier dropped. The getty prints his banner every time when he's restarted via kill etc. without caring of carrier. 3.) How to get the getty off the line for uucp outdials ? btw: 4.) Taylor does not work.... /usr/libexec/uucp/uucico starts and terminates without printing any debug information etc. Any idea ? THANX for any help. I need a solution of these problems as fast as possible. Regards, Christian
