I am trying to connect to Old Nortel Option 11C PBX using Modem. Connection gets established but I just receive junk character.
Please advise what setting needs to be checked.
This can be a number of problems. Are you actually seeing any messages?. If so, then the baud setting could be wrong. Most of my customers I connect with are at 9600 baud and some are at 1200 or 2400 etc.
You are best to use TTY 0 or any of the remote cabinet TTY ports if they exist!. TTY 1 and TTY 2 have different RS232 pins and it's a little tricky, but still possible.
Typical settings I use are N 8 1 and the trick here is to use a modem that is as dumb as possible!. It sounds odd, but certain modems won't work. If you get a blank screen, then you might need a Null Modem adapter.
I've attached a guide that I did some time ago that might help you.
Also, you might need to change the TTY USER settings to remove BUG, MTC and TRF etc.

Thank you Firebird. I have tried these setting but still get a junk characters.
I have AGere Win Modem. Do you know if any special setting required?
Also do you know if I have to use modem emulation and how does that work?
The only real documentation is for a US Robotics Modem. Will others work, probably. Not sure what you are asking about when you say modem emulation. A simple US Robotics Modem and a communication software like Procomm is what you need.
If you are seeing junk characters after connnecting, then the problem may be your terminal settings. Try using 7 bit, Mark Parity, 1 stop bit in your terminal profile and see if that helps.
