Re: Falcom a2d, sms mo not being handled

Hi,

we just installed a Falcom a2d modem and had a similar problem (unable
to send or receive).  however, changing our config to auto-detect
everything got things to work.

here's the config that works for us:

group = smsc
smsc = at2
smsc-id = myfalcom
allowed-smsc-id = myfalcom
device = /dev/ttyS3
modemtype = auto



hope this helps,
Nick
