Hello, This is new behavior in the new Lenny installation. Under Etch it worked fine. I have restored the same configuration files that worked before, but now the modem never answers. The following init-chat line used to work before:
init-chat "" AT+FCLASS=8 OK ATN1S0=0S13=1 OK The S0 register is defined as "rings to auto answer". If I'm not mistaken vgetty takes control of the modem and generates an "A" command when it's time to answer, after the number of rings specified in voice.conf. S13=1 is echo commands. I have also tried X0 and X1 in the init-chat line, per the file smartlink_v92_12312001.pdf as found via google. >From the Etch vgetty, I remember that with each ring, "RING" showed up in the log file. Now nothing shows up. A google search found a very similar problem, from 2004, but no solution: http://osdir.com/ml/linux.linmodem/2004-07/msg00083.html This is the log file. When vgetty used to work, I also had some (all?) of these errors, but the modem answered. This is a built-in modem in a Dell 8600: sl-modem-source 2.9.9d+e-p and sl-modem-daemon 2.9.9d+e-p (that come with the Lenny distribution). Can anyone provide a hint or solution? Thanks.
