How do I get my on-board modem to be a dial-out-only modem? See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge One problem is that the OBM seems to create answerback tones which identifies itself (for some reason) as an MNP reliable modem (!). This confuses some MNP modems and the Telebit Trailblazer (only if set in MNP reliable mode). These cannot be altered in the OBM, but often a system which cannot call the UNIX PC OBM can be called by the UNIX PC OBM. Another problem is that the OBM has trouble establishing a UUCP connection when calling Telebits configured in locked-speed mode. Chris Lewis (clewis@ferret.ocunix.on.ca) has written a program called phfix which can be invoked from /etc/rc to correct this particular problem using the (undocumented?) PIOCOVSPD setting on the OBM. The result is that the OBM can successfully connect with locked-speed Telebits, and they can connect back. The program is not on OSU or in any comp.sources.3b1 archives, so it is presented here: /* Sample program for bashing the OBM into tone dial and setting PIOCOVSPD to permit talking to certain modems (particularly telebits). The documentation mentions 2.3% speed change for PIOCOVSPD. That's all I know. You are free to do whatever you wish with this code, but please leave this comment in.
