F9600 # B9600 CS8 CRTSCTS # B9600 SANE -ISTRIP HUPCL CRTSCTS # @SLOGIN #
F9600
(that came in the gettydefs file as the default entry for fixed speed
modems)
nx # B9600 HUPCL # B9600 CS8 SANE HUPCL TAB3
ECHOE -IXON -IXOFF -IXANY -CTSFLOW -RTSFLOW ORTSFL # @SLOGIN #nx
(that's what I use on SCO & it works at 9600 and 19200)
I've tried both of these at different speeds as well as the autobauding

Yeah, same phone line, same jack. Can't use the same cable (SCO connects
through digiport expansion box with RJ-45 jacks)

Idle, but not just sitting idle. Say I wanted to see how long it would hold
up, I'd just run directory listings over & over until the connection
dropped. I don't think I saw it drop in the middle of a listing, but there
was no 60 seconds idle.
