NAME
       modem - switch the modem and getty state

SYNOPSIS
       modem [-o] [-i num] ttyn

OPTIONS
       -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)

DESCRIPTION
       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)  con-
       nected  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 num-
       ber of times the telephone has to ring before the modem may answer the call (to give the operator a chance).
