Q: DSR warning on Solaris 1

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hi there!

I have this annoying DSR warning on my modem line with an Solaris
1.1.1 (which most of us would call SunOS4). Yes I read the FAQ saying

>Q: The message "WARING: DSR off - modem turned off or bad cable?"
>   keeps showing up in the mgetty logfile.

My question: Does this "Solaris" include 1.1.1? If yes, why does
mgetty still check DSR on this platform? Or is it a new feature,
checking this signal?

The only thing changed is the version of mgetty. I am using now
1.1.13-Mar28. Still: SunOS4.1.3_U1, including zs-patches, same cable,
same modem USR Sportster 28.8.

Did I configure something wrong? In that case: Kick me.
