I am trying to get mgetty setup to answer a modem on /dev/ttyS3 but I
think I am having problems with the modem. I can dial out using minicom
but the response is really slow during the modem init stage. I can dial
out using atdtphonenumber and the modem dials out pretty quick way
before the key strke are echoed back to the screen. Is this normal?
The problem I am having with mgetty is during the init stages. here is
a sample of the log file:
03/29 13:08:12 yS3 mgetty: experimental test release 1.1.21-Jul24
03/29 13:08:12 yS3 check for lockfiles
03/29 13:08:12 yS3 locking the line

03/29 13:08:33 yS3 waiting for ``OK''
03/29 13:08:53 yS3 timeout in chat script, waiting for `OK'
03/29 13:08:53 yS3 init chat timed out, trying force-init-chat
03/29 13:08:53 yS3 send: \d[10][03]\d\d\d+++\d\d\d[0d]\dATQ0V1H0[0d]
03/29 13:08:57 yS3 waiting for ``OK''
03/29 13:09:17 yS3 timeout in chat script, waiting for `OK'
03/29 13:09:17 yS3 init chat failed, exiting...: Interrupted system
call
03/29 13:09:17 ##### failed in mg_init_data, dev=ttyS3, pid=714
this same output just repeats over and over
Where does mgetty get the initstrings?
what is the \d[10][03]\d\d\d+++ sort of stuff ?
I felt like this was related to the slow response from the modem in
minicom. BTW the modem is an old 28800
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Oh yeah,
here is the line from /etc/inittab:
S3:3:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -n 1 -s 115200 ttyS3
The mgetty.config file is original except for one line:
# access the modem(s) with 38400 bps
speed 115200
I was getting invalid port speed messages and jacked it up to the same
as the inittab entry. I then started getting the above messages.
Is this a problem for the 28800 modem?
Again I could really use some help so I can then start to set up the ppp
side of things. I thought at one time that i had a good howto sort of
docuument but can't find it and the docs don't look familier. Must of
been something else. Sigh.
