alright, this is what i'm trying to do: on the original rc2 image, i had a ppp server setup so that my boss could dialin to the lrp and get internet access. since i've upgraded to 1.0 and then to 1.1, i have not been able to achieve this. traditionally when i would boot up rc2, two lights would show lit on the modem - one power, one labeled "ARQ/FAX". this is a sportster modem btw. now when i boot 1.1, only the POWER light is lit. so i associated the serial driver with "bringing up" the modem, which, after lynn has made clear, is probably associated with mgetty.
is there any reason that the mgetty.lrp that worked with rc2 will NOT work with 1.1?? thanks, matt -----Original Message----- From: Ray Olszewski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 4:12 PM To: Matt Russell; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [leaf-user] why isn't serial.o bringing up my modem under Bering 1.1?

They provide communication between the kernel and a UART-driven serial port (which might in turn connect to a modem, which you would access using an appropriate program, perhaps pppd for a router link). Please post a follow-up in which you describe your problem -- what you are attempting, what hardware you are attempting it on, and what you see that you interpret as a failure -- more clearly. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for complex code.
