Cannot get a login when connecting via modem from NT to HP-UX

[Eugene Douglas]

I have added a Multitech 56k modem to our HP-UX box. It is attached via a MUX port. When I dial it from our NT server using hyperterminal I get a connection but no login, just a blank screen which doesn't respond to any keyboard input. The inittab entry for the device is :
a1:3:respawn:/usr/lbin/uucp/uugetty -r -t 60 -h ttyd2a2 19200


I have reset the modem to factory defaults with AT&F.

I would appreciate any help you can offer on this problem.

Thanks,

Eugene Douglas

Hi,

first check if your HP box has access to the modem:
Edit /usr/lib/uucp/Devices:
Add this line:
Direct cul2a2 - 19200 direct

Then try a connect with cu:
cu -l cul2a2
When you get 'connected' try to type some AT commands an look for OK response.
To exit from cu type ~.
Another hint:
Set the Flow control handshake to XON/XOFF with:
AT&E6 or AT&E7
Then save config with:
AT&W

Hope that helps

Hello Eugene,
Try to configure your modem using kermit:
#kermit
C-Kermit> set line /dev/ttyd2a2
C-Kermit> set speed 19200
C-Kermit> set terminal bytesize 8
C-Kermit> set parity none
C-Kermit> quit

The configure modem on your NT node to use the same parameters.
