Tell your modem to answer on the first ring and not echo commands and
not give result codes. To do this do not run a getty on the com port when
you boot, stty the line for the b/s rate you want. stty doesn't seem to
work with just the command "stty 19200 < /dev/com1" (a bug?). You need to
add something like "cs8" to the command like: "stty cs8 19200 < /dev/com1".
At this point run the tip that came with the boot diskette with the
command: "tip /dev/com1", and tell the modem to not speak. My commands
for my MultiTech were "ATE0Q0M0" and "AT&W" to store them.
Go back and edit the /etc/ttys file and stick this line in:
com1 "/usr/libexec/getty t19200" dialup on
save the file and do a "kill -HUP 1" to restart init.
Remember to also set the com port to the highest rate the modem can
handle. If you can lock it down at that, the better.
