Well I cannot seem to find this in an HP FAQ, so apologies if I have missed something. But basically the scenario is: I have a Telebit Worldblazer modem, and HP9000/817 running HPUX 9.0, with a 16channel async Multiplexer (full modem control part #J2094A). The modem is currently installed, working well and configured fine for both dialin and dialout but using XON/XOFF flow control. I need to make this modem use RTS/CTS flow control and it will possibly be used for UUCP use also. Currently I use simply kermit v.5 to dialout from the HP machine. Here is my cable from HP Mux port to WorldBlazer rs-232: HP Port Modem RD 2 ------ 3 TD 3 ------ 2 DCD 4 ------ 8 DTR 6 ------ 20 GND 7 ------ 7 RTS 8 ------ 5 DSR 20 ------ 6 CTS 22 ------ 4 The port was created via SAM as a modem port, with the CCITT field checked. And without the UUCP field unchecked for now. $ ls -al /dev/*pe crw-rw-rw- 1 root other 58 0x40010e Jan 14 10:44 /dev/cua1pe crw-rw-rw- 1 root other 58 0x50010e Jan 14 14:02 /dev/cul1pe crw--w--w- 1 root other 58 0x60010e Jan 14 10:44 /dev/ttyd1pe and here is my current modem config: /users/jae> kermit C-Kermit 5A(189), 30 June 93, HP 9000 Series HP-UX Type ? or HELP for help C-Kermit>set lin /dev/cul1pe C-Kermit>set spe 192 /dev/cul1pe, 19200 bps C-Kermit>c Connecting to /dev/cul1pe, speed 19200.

No response from further ate or atq commands! I can exit out of kermit fine but further communication is impossible. I am a bit suspicious about the &R register, but it appears (to me) that otherwise my cable, modem config is all ok? Unless pins 6 and 20 on my cable are wrong...? Can anyone provide some insight into this scenario and lead me toward a solution path? forever indebted for whomever can help. ::j ..................................... -=====- -=====- -=- exby@spot.Colorado.EDU -=- - -
