Command: modem - switch the modem and getty state
Syntax: modem [-o] [-i num] ttyn
Flags: -o Turn getty off and set modem to dialout
-i Set line to dialin
Examples: modem -o tty00 # Set tty00 to dialout
modem -i2 tty00 # Set tty00 to dialin (2 rings)
The getty 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
-o flag is presnt, modem 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,
modem will send some (Hayes) commands to the attached modem to disable
the auto-nanswer mode. The -i flag specifies the number of times the
telephone has to ring before the modem may answer the call (to give the
operator a chance).
