Your
/etc/gettydefs
should contain a number of definitions appropriate for
your purpose. Choose or create one for a multi-speed modem with hardware-hand-
shaking (if your cable supports this).
Remember that the name tag must be the same as in
/etc/initttab
. A possible
entry in
/etc/gettydefs
might be:
MMULTI# B38400 CS8 CRTSCTS # B38400 SANE -ISTRIP HUP HUPCL
CRTSCTS #@S login: #38400
(The above two lines are a single entry.)
Software Tips
In order to use your ZyXEL modem from a terminal screen or an X-Windows ap-
plication, you need a program such as minicom or seyon, respectively.
If you wish to make use of the ZyXEL modem' special features such as voice, special
gettys such as
mgetty
or
vgetty
are needed. These programs are avaible from sev-
eral ftp-sites. Some archives also contain source files.
You should suppress the modem's result codes (ATQ2) from the 2864 series mo-
dems because some applications may be irritated by them.
Disabling throughput averaging (ATS42.1=0) may speed up connections with
powerful workstations.
