Checking the modem is alive
You can check that the modem is alive by using the
tip
command with
the appropriate label, as shown in Table 9-1.
For example, the following command opens a command line interface
to the internal modem (SPARCbook 3 only):
% tip modem
connected
This allows you to control the modem directly with the AT command
set. See “AT Command Set” on page 9-15.
For a PCMCIA modem in slot 0, the command would be:
% tip pcm0
To break the command interface, enter
~.
(tilde period), that is:
~.

Simple Terminal Login Connection
To open a simple terminal login connection to a remote system, you can

command allows you to open an AT
command interface to the modem, as described in the previous section,
or to dial up remote UNIX or non-UNIX systems and to login to an
interactive login session, although you may require a login account on
the remote system.
For example, to dial out using a PCMCIA modem in slot 0 you could
use the sequence:
% tip pcm0
atdt012345678
Where
at
informs the modem that the following sequence is a Hayes
command (see “AT Command Set” on page 9-15) and the number is the
number to be dialed. The number includes the tone-dial characters “t”.
