autobauding getty (again) for A/UX for Smartmodem Clones
Wed Mar 28 02:20:29 AEST 1990
Following is a shell archive containing newgetty.c, a getty(8) replacement
programs that does automatic baud rate adjustment depending on result
codes sent by a Hayes Smartmodem(TM) 2400 modem attached to an A/UX
based Macintosh.
If there is sufficient interest, I have a short shell/awk script
to ensure that ghost getty's do not take a line out of service
due to unfinished background processes. I understand that this
is a common problem with System V UNIX machines. It certainly
is a problem on my A/UX box.

Thanks to Paul Campbell from SuperMac Technologies for his help with the
SuperMac 4-port serial CommCard.
Thanks to Apple Computer, Inc. for providing no help whatsoever in the
development of newgetty despite numerous calls and pleas for assistance.
It's nice to know us little developers are important too!

Modem Settings
Generally for any Hayes Smartmodem 2400 clone, we want to have the modem
hang up on drop of DTR; we use termio's hupcl setting to kill all on loss
of carrier (DCD) so we need to tell the modem to track the state of DCD;
we want digital (not english) result codes from the modem to make the
program easier to write; we want a modem reset after loss of carrier
therefore our settings changes must be written into the modem's nonvolatile
RAM. You'll have to do this by hooking the modem to a port and using cu(1C)
to talk to it and make the settings changes.
The Hayes(TM) commands to do this are as follows:
ATV0 -- short form result codes
AT&C1 -- DCD tracks carrier
AT&D3 -- reset on DTR drop
AT&W -- write settings to nonvolitile RAM
Sample /etc/inittab entries
00:2:respawn:/etc/newgetty tty0 #Port tty0 (modem); set to "respawn"
01:2:respawn:/etc/newgetty tty1 #Port tty1 (print); set to "respawn"
a0:2:respawn:/etc/newgetty ttya0 #Port ttya0 (SuperMac 4 port board - port 1)
a1:2:respawn:/etc/newgetty ttya1 #Port ttya1 (SuperMac 4 port board - port 2)
As you can see, I placed my binary in the /etc directory. I gave it the
same mode as getty, specifically -rwx------ or mode 0700 since init, being
a superuser process, can run anything it pleases. See below...
