Your
/etc/gettydefs
should contain a number of definitions appropriate for
your purpose. Choose or create one for a multi-speed modem with hardware-hand-
shaking (if your cable supports this).
Remember that the name tag must be the same as in
/etc/initttab
. A possible
entry in
/etc/gettydefs
might be:
MMULTI# B38400 CS8 CRTSCTS # B38400 SANE -ISTRIP HUP HUPCL
CRTSCTS #@S login: #38400
(The above two lines are a single entry.)
Software Tips
In order to use your ZyXEL modem from a terminal screen or an X-Windows ap-
plication, you need a program such as
minicom
or
seyon
, respectively.
If you wish to make use of the ZyXEL modem' special features such as voice, special
gettys such as
mgetty
or
vgetty
are needed. These programs are avaible from sev-
eral ftp-sites. Some archives also contain source files.
You should suppress the modem's result codes (
ATQ2
) from the 2864 series mo-
dems because some applications may be irritated by them.
Disabling throughput averaging (
ATS42.1=0
) may speed up connections with
powerful workstations.
