I'm currently attempting to get our SPARCstation 2 serial port talking to a
Concurrent 3280 superminicomputer using cu under SunOS 4.1.1. I don't need
file transfer capabilities, just the ability to communicate in 7 bit, even
parity ASCII. I modified the /etc/uucp/Systems file and the /etc/uucp/Devices
file and using the command cu -e <system> am attempting to talk with the
superminicomputer. I can talk just fine but I'd like to automatically log
into the system. cu is either not recognizing my login information field
in the Systems file OR it's not sending and receiving properly. I'm running
cu in a shelltool (shelltool cu -e ccur & OR
shelltool -I cu\ -e\ ccur\ &) but neither of these seem to
work properly. The connection is made properly but no automatic login! It doesn't send out anything on the line (/dev/ttya) or seem to receive anything
from it (/dev/ttya) no matter how I change the login field in the Systems
file. Once the connection is established, however, anything I type goes out to
the port and and the Concurrent responds as expected. Anybody have any idea
what I might be doing wrong?
I'm not stuck on cu. I'll use anything that I can get the source code (smaller
the better) for to do the same job (i.e. communicate and allow autologin).
Anybody got any pointers to any other public domain or standard Unix utilities
that'll do this? I eventually want to have a program on the workstation
communicating with a program on the superminicomputer via the serial RS232 line.
