- If the other side is configured correctly and just wants to send a
- machine, who isn't reading it, a screen of text. The work around
- is not in your static file or uucico command line.
-
- In your ~/uucp/scripts file line for that system add another
- send/expect sequence.
-
- <<line wrapped for clarity>>
- othersite in:--in: uucp word: password
- last\sfew\swords\sof\slast\sline--last\sfew\swords\sof\slast\sline
-
- Keep tacking on "--last\sfew\swords\sof\slast\sline" till you stop
- timing out. I recommend you actually only use 2 or 3 words. One is
- best, if, and only if, it is unique in the screen of text.
-
- This is similar to what I do when I have to telenet to my UUCP account
- via a standard user account. (Hope my host's sysadmin doesn't read
- this. :)
