TTY ports

[mezanine]

I have 2 questions:

How can you communicate with a TTY port (tty2A)so that a person knows it is working?

How do you set the port from modem control to local control?

 

[edfair]

If UUCP is installed, you could add the controls in UUCP so you could "cu -l tty2A dir" and talk to the modem, such as "at i4" and get a register dump.

To change from modem to tty disable tty2A, then enable tty2a. Ed Fair
