Can't cu with mgetty(+fax) v1.0.0

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

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting the cu program from v1.06.1 of the Taylor
UUCP package to work with mgetty-1.0.0 (mgetty+fax). Before installing
mgetty (I was using uugetty), cu worked fine with the dial-out port set
to
/dev/cua2.

After installing mgetty, trying to dial out with cu yields an error -
something to the effect of "All ports busy." After changing the port
configuration file to use /dev/ttyS2 instead (as instructed in the
mgetty docs), cu seems to able to open the device, but then hangs;
characters don't seem to get written/read properly.

Here is a sample cu session with debugging turned on that illustrates
this behavior (a ^C was used to terminate the session):

 # ./cu -d modem
 ./cu: fconn_open: Opening port modem (default speed)
 ./cu: fconn_set: Changing setting to 0, 0, 2
 ./cu: fcsend: Writing "ATZ\r" sleep

[a long time with nothing happening here]

 ./cu: Got interrupt signal
 ./cu: fconn_close: Closing connection
 #

Does anyone have any insights as to why this might be happening and
what, if any changes I can make to get things to work? I am running
Linux kernel 2.0.26.

If you answer, please send e-mail directly as well as to the group. I
don't always get a chance to check newsgroups and I am not currently a
member of the mailing lists. Thanks.
