CALLBACK SECURITY

[shadducb]

QUESTION: How can I get my external MT5634ZBA MultiTech modem to work properly on a Dell 6300 running SCO OpenServer Enterprise 5.05? I need to utilize the modem's<br>
CALLBACK feature, but currently I cannot even dial in. Dial<br>
out works fine using the atdial192 dialer. I tried to use<br>
a different one as suggested by MultiTech in their 'technical document' 14311.txt but it caused messages<br>
such as 'getty respawing too frequently' so I reinstated<br>
the atdial192. SCO points the finger at MultiTech and vicea<br>
versa. There are some 100 or more multitech dialers in the<br>
/usr/lib/uucp/default directory on my machine, however none<br>
seem to be usable for this modem. HELP.<br>
Thanks Barry Shadduck (517) 335-3890 <A HREF="mailto:ShadduckB@state.mi.us">ShadduckB@state.mi.us</A>

If you're having trouble dialing in, it's possible the modem isn't set to auto-answer (S-register zero). 'cu' to the modem and enter:<br>
<br>
ats0=2<br>
at&w<br>
<br>
(You may not see any reply or even the text you enter depending on the modem configuration.)<br>
<br>
This sets it to pick up calls on second ring and tthen saves the change.<br>
<br>
AFAIK, the dialer scripts will only be used on outgoing calls, so this should solve your problem.<br>
<br>
HTH.

Thanks. I'll reset s0 from 1 to 2. I was under the<br>
impression that dialers are used to initialize the modem whether outgoing or incoming.<br>
<br>
Will let you know how this turns out.<br>

Again thanks for responding.
