Installing a MODEM on v5.0.2
Hi, my first Sco question so go easy!

We have a customer who is on Sco v5.0.2. We are attempting to talk a consultant on site through how to configure the MODEM in scoadmin. Unfortunately the MODEM install instructions that we work from only work for v5.0.4 and assume that scoadmin has an option for Modem Manager within the Networks screen.

From talking to the consultant, it would appear that the version of scoadmin he is working on has limited capabilities compared to 5.0.4 or 5.0.5. Unfortunately I have never seen 5.0.2 in action so I'm a bit stuck as to how to get the MODEM configured.

Is Modem manager simply not an option on the earlier versions or does it go by a different name?

Thanks in advance

Ric

On that version of SCO you have to set up the modem manually.

You should use an external modem for best results.

Files to configure:

/etc/inittab
/etc/gettydefs
/usr/lib/uucp/Systems
/usr/lib/uucp/Devices

(pls check the man pages for other areas I missed)
