Hi,

perhaps the getty process is not running.
Check with: ps -ef | getty
if there is a getty proccess.
Also look at /etc/inittab if there is an enrtry for the getty ie:
mod1:4:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty -t 40 -h ttyd0p7 9600

Uh, If you are dialing into a modem connect to the back of the machine have you done and "ER" to enable access? :)

Is your modem respondng i.e. on the hp box can you connect to the modem successfully i.e
cu -l ( port in /etc/Devices) and issue AT commands?

Which port is your modem connected to e.g. MUX port , etc .. and do you have an internal modem for predict , if so this by default uses port 7, so if you are setting up another modem as well use another port ?

Check on the modem if you have the DTR light on , if not then it is likely the getty is not running ? Try setting it to off and then
check ps -ef | grep getty to see if a getty is running on the port , and check the state of the modem as well. Then set it to respawn and and check both again . To change the state vi inittab and change the state field ( off:respawn) and run init q to re-read inittab file again.

Also some more inof would help as where the modem is physicall connected.

HTH ...

Is your modem server a PPP gateway? We have a PPP modem server, Hyperterminal will not connect.. You must use Microsoft DialUp service to connect to the Modem server, then telnet to the HP server..
