Re: modem weirdness was: minor error in ppp chatscript
Hi,
It is not clear what your problem is. Where are you connecting? (i.e.:
what is on the other side of the phone line?) Are you trying to dial into
your IPX or out of it? Whose minicom seems locked? the one on the IPX
dialing out or the one on the machine you are trying to dial into your
IPX?
In order to dial into your IPX you have to have a getty of sorts listening
on the serial port. Debian's /etc/inittab usually has an example of how to
do that, but it is usually commented out.
As for the alarm problem, I have no clue.
Regards, Leo
