configure dial out in rx2600

Can anybody help me in configuring dial out for RX2600 ?

When I give
# cu -l cul1p2 -s 19200 dir
it gives me 'connected' after that console simply hangs. It worked once before reboot but after rebooting server the same symptopm is appearing.

Tried to recreate device after deleting older one.No symptom change

I have connected modem to MP(3 port-modem,console,ups)

OS - HPUX ver 11.23
server: RX2600
Dial in is perfect.

Modems are a real pain. Suggest you SAM to re-configure it. SAM does a reasonable jobs of these.

Got to back up Michael on the sam thing. Sam has always worked with modems for me.

Not everything has to be commandline.

Do note that the hardware support in HP-UX is somewhat limited. Its not going to pick up or properly use every external modem ever created.

I try and keep the modem pretty vanilla in such cases.

OT:Was wondering what ever happened with that java thing Micheal.

Thanks for your reply. However I created device file using SAM only.Is there anything else I need to take care of ?

Do you need anything else other than creating a device file with SAM? That depends on how you intend to use the modem!

You mentioned the cu command, this requires the /etc/uucp/Devices file to be configured. If you were to use Kermit then you don't need to touch that file - you'd just use the internal Kermit commands. If you want to use your fax/BACS/whatever software then you need to find out exactly what it requires.

When it comes to modems and HP-UX there is no plug-n-play. SAM makes no attempt to even detect if there is a modem connected, let alone what type it is!

regards,

Darren.

Tahnks darren for your reply.
I will give you the detail what I did.

As I mentioned dial-in os perfect.SAM created three device files /dev/cul0p2,cua0p2,ttyd0p2.
I also put an entry in /etc/uucp/Devices as
'Direct cul0p2 -19200 direct'.
Checked /etc/gettydefs for 19200 and /etc/inittab is also updated by SAM.

If I check using MP
MP>ms
it shows cts/106 as "1" and all other para as "0". Modem is on and working fine(Multitech modem).

Even once before reseting server I was able to dialout using the same settings. Nothing is wrong with phone line as the same line works in other server and same modem.
