Older mgetty versions had all class 2 modems in "class 0 mode" while
waiting for incoming calls, which worked very well for some Rockwell
modems, and not so well for others.  With class 2.0 modems, the modem
always *had* to be in fax mode.

Recently, I changed the settings so that some class 2 modems are also run
in "class 2 mode", so maybe that triggered the problem at your end.

OK, this may be a repair but I'm wondering why that worked before
and now I have to take special measures. Or is it perhaps 
kermit's fault?

The modem is in fax mode, and has established a fax connection.  Have
kermit send an AT+FCLASS=0 first.

locking problem FreeBSD 3.4 - kermit and mgetty

2000-01-25 Thread Christoph Kukulies


C-Kermit 7.0.196 Beta.11, 6 Dec 1999, for FreeBSD 3.0
mgetty: experimental test release 1.1.21-Jul24

FreeBSD 3.4

I had running kermit and mgetty running happily together,
one not disturbing the other (I had a mgetty running on cuaa1 (/etc/ttys))
and when I hand dialed via kermit mgetty got politely out of the way.
(never cared about it - it used to work under FreeBSD 2.2.8).

Now after an upgrade to FreeBSD 3.4 I added the packages above (kermit
and mgetty) to have up-to-date binaries.

But as a result mgetty gets into kermit's ways such that when a
modem connection is made I suddenly get a modem prompt like
+FCON as if someone (mgetty) is either messing with my local
or the remote modem while kermit opens the connection.

Clueless. Can only do a kill -TSTP 1 , kill the last mgetty and
use kermit and have to kill -HUP 1 after that.
