Configuring HP-UX For Peripherals

104 Chapter4
Configuring Terminals and Modems
Planning to Configure a Terminal or Modem
You will need to create device special files with /usr/sbin/mksf
specifically for modem use.
mksf provides options for CCITT for special European protocol
requirements (most US customers should not use the CCITT option), -i
option for a UUCP dialer (used with access mode 0), and hardware flow
control (an alternative to XON/XOFF pacing). The mksf options for the
asio0 device driver allows for incoming and outgoing hardware
buffering.
An example of creating modem device special files is provided in
“Additionally Configuring HP-UX for a Modem”, later in this chapter.
See the mksf (1M), modem (7), and termio (7) manpages in the HP-UX
Reference for bit values and use. Also review “Requirements for Modems
to Work on HP-UX” to ensure proper functioning.
