What happens is this: I run uucico from my NeXTstation(local) to a decstation3100(remote) with : /etc/uucp/uucico -r1 -x6 -spsl The modem dials out and the call connects. The decstation sends "Shere" and the NeXT responds with "Szaphod -Q0"(or something to that effect) and then the NEXT says "waiting for SYNC" and nothing happens until the connection times out. In the LOGFILE on the remote machine, I get: Uzaphod pslu1 (5/22-21:54-20203) TIMEOUT (pslu1) What is going on here? How can I get the remote uucico to tell me what is going wrong? What is the next step in the protocol. Where do I look for the protocol? Thanks, Bill.

We had a similar problem with users dialing into our 386 ISC IX box and it turned out to be that we had changed from 7 E 1 to 8 N 1. I suggested to the users that they run the following commands on their NeXTs: stty -odd -even < /dev/cu<a,b> And then read the documentation on the L.Sys file to find out how to set "No Parity" for uucp connections. This seemed to work for them. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |The views expressed herein, are the sole responsibility of the typist at hand| +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |UUCP: pensoft!robin | |USNail: 701 Canyon Bend Dr. | | Pflugerville, TX 78660 | | Home: (512)251-6889 Work: (512)343-1111 | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
