modem - switch the modem and getty state
</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
<STRONG>modem</STRONG> [<STRONG>-o</STRONG>] [<STRONG>-i</STRONG> <EM>num</EM>] <STRONG>tty</STRONG><EM>n</EM>
</PRE>
<H2>OPTIONS</H2><PRE>
<STRONG>-o</STRONG> Turn getty off and set modem to dialout
<STRONG>-i</STRONG> Set line to dialin
</PRE>
<H2>EXAMPLES</H2><PRE>
<STRONG>modem</STRONG> <STRONG>-o</STRONG> <STRONG>tty00</STRONG> # Set tty00 to dialout
<STRONG>modem</STRONG> <STRONG>-i2</STRONG> <STRONG>tty00</STRONG> # Set tty00 to dialin (2 rings)
</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
The <EM>getty</EM> program allows a terminal port to be used for both dialin and
dialout. This little program switches the getty state, and also sends
some commands to the modem attached to the specified line. If the <STRONG>-o</STRONG>
flag is presnt, <EM>modem</EM> will put the getty process (if any) connected to
the specified line into SUSPEND state, which means that it will not pay
attention to that line until it is reset to RESTART state. Also, <EM>modem</EM>
will send some (Hayes) commands to the attached modem to disable the
auto-nanswer mode. The <STRONG>-i</STRONG> flag specifies the number of times the
telephone has to ring before the modem may answer the call (to give the
operator a chance).
