6.9 Connecting a Modem to the IRIS Workstation

A modem can be connected to the IRIS Workstation through
on the Cabinet I/O Panel. This modem can then be used by the UNIX
Port 4
utilities cu and uucp.
configuration files are prepared for it. To attach a modem to any of the other
ports requires modification of the serial line configuration files.
1. See Section 4.6 for instructions on how to physically connect the
IRIS Workstation to a modem with an RS-232 serial line.
2. Edit the file /etc/inittab. Each line corresponds to a device file in /dev
and contains four fields separated by colons. See Table 6-2 for a list
of the correspondences between device files and physical ports.
Find the line for the selected port and put an x in the second field.
This prevents a getty process from being started on the port. See
inittab(4).
3. init must be informed of the change to the /etc/inittab file.
This causes init to read /etc/inittab and enable ports for modem use.
4. Edit the file /usr/lib/uucp/L-devices. This file contains line speed entries
for each port. See Section 1.3 for a description of the fields in each
line of /usr/lib/uucp/L-devices.
5. Edit the file /usr/lib/uucp/L.sys. This file contains information about
sites that uucp can communicate with. See Section 1.3 for a
