- I've got a Practical Peripherals 9600SA modem connected to a DECstation
- 5000/125 running Ultrix 4.2. I know the modem and cable work, because I
- can use kermit from the 5000 to dial out, and in fact I am doing that
- right now.
-
- My problem is tip (and uucp). When I use tip to call out, it dials the
- number, tells me it's waiting for a carrier. About 10 seconds later,
- the modem connects (I can tell by the led lights on the modem), but
- the tip program never gets the message, and it eventually times out
- saying no carrier detected.
-
- It seems obvious to me that my /etc/acucap file is not configured
- properly. I have for DAYS to get it right, and I still can't. Can
- someone who has some experience with acucap help me out?
