I posted this last week, but never saw it.  If you've seen it, I apollogize
for the repeat...


I have a HAYES compatible 2400 baud modem in my RT (AIX 2.2.1).  I have
been able to address it and use it for dial out, but I can't figure out how
to send an initialization string to it in order to set auto answer, number
of rings etc.  The IBM docs assume that you have an external modem an can
set the switches on the front for auto answer.

I've tried ("ATZ" is just an example, nothing works):

echo "ATZ" >/dev/tty0

This hangs and never returns.

echo "ATZ" >/dev/ltty0

This returns but has no affect.

Does anyone know how to do this?  Can I write a little C program that open
/dev/tty0 and sends an initialization string to it?  ATE is obviously able
to communicate with the modem.

Thanks.
