Setting up modem (US Robotics) in UNIX and dialling out

[Mohan Chennasamudram]

Hello,

Based on response to my earlier post... I set up a modem as following

1. Used SAM to add a modem,
It created a dev /dev/cul0p2

2. using kermit
I did the following

vjdee03:root>kermit
Executing /usr/share/lib/kermit/ckermit.ini for UNIX...
Good Morning!
C-Kermit 6.0.192, 6 Sep 96, for HP-UX 10.00
Copyright (C) 1985, 1996,
Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York.
Default file-transfer mode is TEXT
Type ? or HELP for help.
[/sbin/rc2.d] C-Kermit>set line /dev/cul0p2
[/sbin/rc2.d] C-Kermit>set speed 2400
/dev/cul0p2, 2400 bps
[/sbin/rc2.d] C-Kermit>set modem hayes
[/sbin/rc2.d] C-Kermit>dial 15189562000
Trying: 15189562000...
Device: /dev/cul0p2, modem: hayes-2400, speed: 2400
Dial timeout: 46 seconds
To cancel: type your interrupt character (normally Ctrl-C).
DIAL Failure: "NO CARRIER"
[/sbin/rc2.d] C-Kermit>

Actually the modem dials out(able to hear it dial out) but does not go further(pops up the above error)

I am suppose to use Zmodem protocol(downloaded source and compiled it)... I also need to know how should I use it to connect and transfer files(actually trying to connect to a Bank server)

Thanks in Adv

I suggest using the CU command to troubleshoot modem problems. man cu should help..good luck

Hi,
One other thing to check is the cable port between the unix server (mux card or serial port) and the modem.

HP has a document describing the hardware and the RS-232 pinouts for modems on the www.docs.hp.com just do a search and type in the model number of your mux card or modem to find the document.

I think I would call the people you are trying to connect to (in this case, the bank) and ask them to help you. If they are telling you to use zmodem protocol I would think they have an answer as to how to set it up.
