Remote Dial-in on 10.20

[Sharon Bi_4]

Hi,

One of my users here work at home. He has a hp box at home and a Hayes
external modem. He dials into an exact same machine here in the office to
work. But the hard disk of the one here was crashed. ( and unfortunately, we
don't have a backup). Does any body know how to setup this remote dial in? (
I have hooked up the modem and add it from SAM. It works fine when it tries to
dial out. )

Thanks in advance!

It may depend on what type of box this is that he is trying to dial into. The
internal modems in K-Class servers are normally only supported for dial-out,
predictive, and remote console. Setting up dial-in on this type of a
configuration may not be possible.

It did work before. I remember it was some kind of ppl.remote file. But since
we lost the whole disk, I know nothing about that file.

In SAM when you defined the modem did you X off
the "Recieve incoming calls" field? (This is assuming your version of SAM has
this feature) If this field
is checked off, then do a ps -ef |grep getty. A getty
process should be running for that modem device, if
it isn't, check your /etc/inittab. There should be
a line:
a0:4:respawn:/usr/lbin/uucp/uugetty -r -t 60 -h ttyd0p7 19200

which tells the getty process to check that modem port
for a connection.(SAM should add this line automatically if you specified
"Recieve incoming calls".
