Sluggers,
Ok so fresh from my success at getting my data logger working with
unWired DHCP I'm trying to get it to respond to a remote dial up.
The logger has a GSM modem in it and kermit and getty, but not mgetty or
agetty. Getty is in fact a symbolic link to /bin/tinylogin
If I fire up kermit
set line /dev/ttyS2
set speed 38400
set carrier-watch off
connect
and wait, then go to my other box and ring the logger's GSM modem, it
connects up fine and what I type on my desktop appears on the logger's
kermit session, and vice versa. So far so good.
But then I edit /etc/inittab and add this entry
S2:3:/sbin/getty 38400 ttyS2 vt100
and do a telinit Q
When I dial in now I get scribble on the desktops screen
...w'.....Q..oA.'...
which appears to respond to my enter keys etc not sure. I.E I think that
the getty is sending Login:, Password: etc but looks like it's
scrambled, maybe a baud rate problem? But I've set 38400 as one of the
getty options. Maybe the getty supplied with the box just isn't good
enough? Do I need to have mgetty? (Which isn't on the box and will
require a cross-compile).
It may be a parity bit problem.
TIA's
Pete
