You need to set the fd to not echo characters! By default, the driver
presumes that someone is going to log in via a ttySn and they expect to
see what they typed echoed until /bin/login gets control and turns off
echo when you type a password.

When you open the "modem", the modem will detect DSR/CTS and send an
"Ok", this gets echoed back to the modem, which echoes the same thing
etc OKOKOKOKOK <forever>

If you need more help, contact me via private rjohnson@analogic.com. I
will give you working snippets of code that do the necessary stuff. I
have a "homemade" dial-back program that uses all the primatives you need.
I use this every night to get my work-system to call me back so I don't
run up a long-distance phone bill.

Cheers,
DJ
