L-Class and A-Class support modem option--US Robotics?

[Dee_3]

I have L-Class systems on o/s 11.0 in the field. We have previously setup the L-Class systems with a modem connected to the w cable in the port labeled remote with a 9 to 25 pin modem cable using the HP Support Link, the MultiTech Modem, and an AT&T Paradyne Comsphere 3820 modem. We are now setting up A-Class systems and I've been asked to try the US Robotics Courier V.Everything for the support modem. My co-worker said that she tried using a Robotics modem on the L-Class, but could not get it to work (no specifics as to why though). Can anyone help me with this type of setup? Thanks, Terri Christensen.

Hi

on the left side of your screen it says search.
click this then search with "modem US hpux" and click the tag in forum , this will give you the full expanation and the US Robotic modems do work.

I remember placing a call for adding a modem to a D or K class server. I was told that I had to use the HP internal modem and LAM box for support purposes.

However I have successfully installed modems.
Take a look at :-

Get a login prompt on the modem :-

/etc/inittab
------------

a0:3:respawn:/usr/lbin/uucp/uugetty -r -t 60 -h ttyd1p0 57600

Define the getty :-

/etc/gettydefs
--------------

57600 # B57600 HUPCL IGNPAR PARENB ICRNL IXON OPOST ONLCR CS7 CREAD
ISIG ICANON ECHO ECHOK PARENB ISTRIP IXANY TAB3
# B57600 SANE CS7 PARENB ISTRIP IXANY TAB3 HUPCL
#login: #57600

Allow dial out using cu -l cul1p0 -m dir

/etc/uucp/Devices
-----------------

Direct cul1p0 - 57600 direct

Note: cul1p0 is my device. Yours will probably be different.

I've attached the above config entries for clarity

HTH
