Hello,
I converted my Compaq Armada M700 notebook (P3) from SuSE
Linux 9.1 to
NetBSD3.0. While most other things work ok, I seem to have
trouble
accessing the data/fax capability of my cellphone (Siemens
ME45 or Siemens
S35) from the notebook. Connected via data cable to serial
port /dev/tty00.
Settings under /etc/ppp/... are the same as they were before
under Linux.
NetBSD 3.0 GENERIC, pppd-2.4.3nb1
Combinations that work, dialing into a Lucent Portmaster
digital modem:
a) pppd using a normal voice modem on /dev/tty00 (Creatix
28.800)
b) minicom using ME45 cellphone on /dev/tty00
(Hardware flow control, 19200 8N1)
c) pppd using ME45 cellphone on a Debian Linux host
>From b) and c) I conclude that the phone and the cable
are ok, from a) I
conclude that pppd and kernel ppp are basically working.
Now trying the ME45, /var/log/messages contains the
following:

Immediately after "Serial connection established",
pppd says "Modem
hangup".
And sometimes (very rarely, indeed), it says "not 8-bit
clean":
Dec 26 03:19:10 shlab pppd[234]: Serial connection
established.

bit 7 set to 0
Dec 26 03:19:10 shlab pppd[234]: Last 2 characters were:
Dec 26 03:19:12 shlab pppd[234]: Exit.
pppd options I tried (without any difference)
- nocrtscts
- crtscts
- cdtrcts
- nocdtrcts
- crtscts nocdtrcts
- nocrtscts cdtrcts
- none of these settings
- passive
I am running out of things to try. Can somebody give me some
more hints?
Perhaps I need to look into 8N1 (... not 8-bit clean ...),
where is this
set in pppd (or outside of pppd?) ? Other differences in
serial port
handling between NetBSD and Linux?
Thankful for any help.
Best regards
Matthias Ferdinand
