Description of problem: vgetty reports: 02/03 10:50:02 yS0 Multitech MT5634Z internal detected 02/03 10:50:02 yS0 modem quirks: 0001 02/03 10:50:02 yS0 mdm_send: 'AT+FCLASS=2' -> OK 02/03 10:50:02 yS0 mdm_send: 'AT+FAA=1;+FCR=1' -> OK 02/03 10:50:02 yS0 mdm_send: 'AT+FBOR=0' -> OK 02/03 10:50:02 yS0 mdm_send: 'AT+FLID="585-663-7799"' -> OK 02/03 10:50:02 yS0 mdm_send: 'AT+FDCC=1,5,0,2,0,0,0,0' -> OK 02/03 10:50:02 yS0 detecting voice modem type 02/03 10:50:03 yS0 V253 modem detected 02/03 10:50:03 yS0 initializing V253 voice modem 02/03 10:50:04 yS0 vgetty: Modem returned ERROR 02/03 10:50:04 yS0 can't turn on hardware flow control Yet, I can set it just fine: AT&K3 OK Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mgetty-voice-1.1.36-2.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Additional info: With debug set to 6, I still do not get the command that vgetty is trying to use to show up in the log.. It must be something other than "AT&K3", but what it's trying to use or how I might go about correcting it remains a mystery.
I have the following set in voice.conf: # Some modems follow the voice cammands defined in ITU V.253 # but don't support the flow control command AT+IFC defined in ITU V.250. # For those modems you could use the V253ugly driver, which use all of V253modem # but for the flow control command it uses simple "AT" # forceV253subset TRUE Yet, vgetty is STILL trying to use AT+IFC: 02/03 16:47:49 yS0 voice command: 'AT+IFC=2,2' -> 'OK' 02/03 16:47:49 yS0 vgetty: AT+IFC=2,2 02/03 16:47:49 yS0 V253 ugly: ERROR 02/03 16:47:49 yS0 vgetty: Modem returned ERROR 02/03 16:47:49 yS0 can't turn on hardware flow control
This is still a problem in mgetty-voice-1.1.36-3.fc11.x86_64. Changing version to 11. 06/24 16:10:33 yS0 voice command: 'AT+IFC=2,2' -> 'OK' 06/24 16:10:33 yS0 vgetty: AT+IFC=2,2 06/24 16:10:33 yS0 V253 ugly: ERROR 06/24 16:10:33 yS0 vgetty: Modem returned ERROR 06/24 16:10:33 yS0 can't turn on hardware flow control It would have been nice if mgetty-voice had created voice.conf.rpmnew instead of saving the config as voice.conf.rpmsave and then stepping on it. mgetty-sendfax is much nicer and created mgetty.config.rpmnew and sendfax.config.rpmnew instead. It would be good for mgetty-voice to follow the same pattern.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
The issue is produced by 'AT+IFC=2,2'. voice.conf contains do_hard_flow option that is 'true' by default. Please, try to disable this option.
Sorry, this report is so old I don't have the hardware anymore!
