Dear all

Under qnx4.25 you used the following

tinit -c " modem -b 19200" -m 10 -t /dev/ser1

to get a modem to answer the serial connection.

There doesn’t appear to be a modem utility in qnxrtp, can anyone enlighten
me further on this.

Hi Rodney,

At this time, no there isn’t a modem utility under QNX6. However
we do have someone working on it.

Erick.

Thanks Erick for the prompt response.

How does one set up the pppd as a dial up server then, or is there a way of
running pppd directly on the serial port and or could I use auto answer with
a login active on the serial line.

What I want to do is to be able to dial up the qnxrtp box and run phditto or
phindows how can this be done.

Thanks for the idea.

I will give it a go and see what I can do.

As an idea, perhaps:

write a chat script that does the expect/send (change to no timeout) like
:

RING ATA
CONNECT <do nothing

Once the chatscripts returns, PPPD can start. Wrap that in a while(1)
script that repeats this process.
