setting up a modem on an Ultra5
Hi I had this on the expert unix forum, but nobody answered the I saw this forum which is more to what I am doing.

I was setting up a modem on an Ultra5 running 2.6. (yes I know, how quaint)
There are 15 systems that are interlinked but not accessible to the outside world.
This will end soon with new updated sun systems but until then the system needs to be accessed by the outside world. Hence the modem.
I was called in to help out and discovered that the serial port was not set up correctly I corrected this and then happened to look at the eeprom and the engineer that I was helping remarked that the two entries for the serial ports had not been there before. Because the Ultra 5 is used in a production environment it cannot be shut it down to look at the ok prompt (OBP).

When admintool serial is changed and you choose "Apply" does this update the eeprom? And is it written to the eeprom or will it default to what it was before once the ultra 5 has been rebooted?
Thanks

faxstate

FAXSTATE(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       FAXSTATE(8)

NAME

       faxstate - control ``modem state'' of a device used by HylaFAX

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/faxstate [ -q queue-dir ] [ -s state ] [ -n ] modem

DESCRIPTION

       faxstate  sends	a  message  to	the  HylaFAX  faxgetty(8) process servicing modem telling it to use the specified state when notifying the
       HylaFAX scheduler that a modem is ready and available for use.  This is useful for controlling outbound	use  of  a  modem;  by	marking  a
       modem's state as busy or down the HylaFAX scheduler will not assign any outbound jobs to the modem.

       The  specified  modem can either be the name (typically the last component of the terminal port the modem is attached to), or the full name
       of the associated FIFO named pipe file, e.g. ``FIFO.ttym2''.

       If the -n option, faxstate emulates what faxgetty would do; sending a message directly to the faxq  process  marking  the  specified  modem
       down,  busy,  or  ready.   This	interface is useful for send-only environments in which faxgetty processes are not used.  Note that modems
       manipulated in this way must previously have been configured with the faxmodem(8) program.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -n	 Contact faxq directly instead of faxgetty.

       -q dir	 Use a spooling area other than /var/spool/hylafax.

       -s	 Specify the state to send the faxq process each time the modem becomes ready for use; one of ``busy'', ``down'',  and	``ready''.
		 The default state to use is ready.

FILES

       Consult hylafax-server(5) for a complete discussion of the structure and content of the spooling area.
