I am working on a program that needs to be able communicate with an async modem vi a tty port, without using UUCP.  I have written a send/expect routine that writes strings out the the tty and waits for a return, if I use the default termio settings, I am able to command the modem just fine, but when I get connected to the system on the other side (actually a packet switch pad) the login banner is echoed back as the login.  Not too cool!  I thought I could turn off echo in the termio settings and my proble

m would go away.  The problem is, if I mess with the termio settings at all, I can't command the modem any more.

I am working on a Sun IPX but this needs to be portable.  I would like get some good termio settings to start with for doing I/O directly to the tty.  Please help!  I would also appreiciate any explainations of the how and why sort.

Please email me at rw0080 at strider.sbc.com (my atsign is broken).

Thanks
