Description
How to configure a dial-in modem on Sun Fire[TM] V120/V100.

Steps to Follow
1.) Connect an externial Hayes compatible modem (one that responds to 'at' commands) on either Port A
or B. Note that port A is considered to be the console port and has no modem dial in capabilities, but may be used for dial out. Port B can be used for DIALOUT or DIALIN use. Port B does provide the required DCD signal for dial-in. This DCD signal tells Solaris ttymon process the modem is requesting a login.
2.)  Configure the modem cable in accordance to the pinouts below.
Signal         RJ45      DB25 Modem
------         ----      ----------
RTS            1    --   4
DTR            2    --   20
TXD            3    --   2
Signal Ground  4    --   1
Signal Ground  5    --   7
RXD            6    --   3
DSR(DCD)       7    --   8
CTS            8    --   5
3.)  Using Admintool, configure the modem for bi-directional.
If unable to run Admintool, Run the command;
#pmadm -a -p zsmon -s ttyb -i root -v `ttyadm -V` -fu -m "`ttyadm -b -S n -d /dev/term/b -s /usr/bin/login -l 38400 -m ldterm,ttcompat`" -y "Bi-Directional modem"
To verify that the service is running use the  pmadm -l  command. You should see something like;
#pmadm -l
zsmon          ttymon         ttyb           u    root     /dev/term/b b - /usr/bin/login - 38400 ldterm,ttcompat login:  - - n  #Modem   Bidirectional
3a.) If you wish to delete the service, use admintool or the following command.
#pmadm -r -p zsmon -s ttyb
4.)  Using TIP, configure the actual modem for dial-in.
This will also sync the modem with the computer to avoid garbage logins.
Note. Always TIP into the modem using the dialin speed used in configuring the login service.
    # tip -38400 /dev/cua/b
Connected
at
ok
at&f (reset to factory)
ats0=1 (AutoAnswer on 1 ring. that's a zero)
ok
at&c1&s1&d2 (sets DCD and DTR to transition)
ok
at&w (write permanent)
<cr> ~ . (to exit TIP)
Done.
