Can anyone help me get agetty working? I need to set up Cygwin to answer a modem call with agetty. Here are a few questions I have. I would really appreciate some help because I cannot find much information about agetty on Cygwin.
1. How do I set the modem to auto answer. Can I do this in a shell script using the agetty -e option to execute a command? I tried "echo ATS0=1 > /dev/ttys2" but it doesnt work. I am using COM3. 2. It looks like agetty immediately opens the com port and attempts to read a login name from it. Does this mean that it expects the modem to be connected with it executes. There doesnt seem to be any code in agetty to wait for a modem to answer. Do I need to wait for the modem to connect using the -e command option? My inittab file has the following line S3:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 -N -1 -h -t60 -e/bin/autoans.sh 9600 ttyS2 Thanks "Sergey Okhapkin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message 59A835EDCDDBEB46BC75402F4604D5528F7666@elmer">news:59A835EDCDDBEB46BC75402F4604D5528F7666@elmer... > Set the modem into auto-answer mode. > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of BB > > Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 1:29 PM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Does agetty work with a modem > > > > > > Has anyone used agetty with a modem?
