Re: [TCLUG:19758] Configuring 675 modem

["George Swan" <g-swan@maroon.tc.umn.edu>]

Thanks, Mike. I think I need to try the pingy-thingy, and also see what 
happens with the Linux approach.  It feels (though this is a newbie 
talking) that I'm not understanding the serial setup on windows.

Ben: don't worry about insulting me--at this point it can't happen!
>Not to insult your intelligence, but did you hit enter a few times after 
the reboot? that should cause the login prompt to pop up.
Yes --just about used a hammer several times around. :-(

When I DID have the "cbos>" prompt it came right up after one tap of the 
ENTER key.  No that I think of it, the only reason I got that far was when 
I put 10.0.0.1 into the gateway in TCP/IP configuration.

 ps -- Then the really big fishy just swam away!

(red faced) I ain't got no pinger on my windows side.... do I?

I think I'm headed over to Linux......

>You should be able to connect with Hyperterminal.....
That's what I thought.  I'm beginning to wonder if I'm not 
config/connecting the serial (com1) management line right.
Hardware is connected right, but not the software...

>I have run across several a 675 that has Telnet disabled
until you set an exec password.
I had set a password, used it in the process of logging to thw cbos prompt, 
then after the "en" [enabled] I was surprised that there was no password 
needed.

>set hyperterm to run at 3840  8 N 1  No flow control...
Yup, I've done that almost 20 times; .... [at least I think I did!]

>If you find that your Cbos has been corrupted you need to reinstall it.
Uhg!

>The following is taken from Cisco on how to do this.  Be warned if you 
screw 
this up...  Well you know.
Yes, I've "heard from the parrot" many times before.

>BTW, if you need the CBOS 2.2 firmware let me know and I'll send it to 
you.

Thanks; it had--and maybe still has-- 2.2 on it
