- Re: call Id #153007
-
- I'm not very familiar with UUCP (I used to be proud of that :-),
- so I may be making some obvoius error, but here goes...
-
- I'm using a SupraFax v42.bis modem on port2 (connected by a cable
- bought from SGI).
-
- % uname -a
- IRIX [deleted] 4.0.5 06151813 IP12
-
- I can dial out using cu -- like this:
-
- % cu -l /dev/tty[fmd]2 -s 38400 <phone-number>
-
- The problem comes when I try to verify that uucp works by running Uutry.
- The first time I ran it this morning, it got to the point at which it
- starts the chat dialog. But since there was a problem with the Dialers
- entry, that didn't work and I interrupted it.
-
- All subsequent times I've tried it today I get this output:
-
- > # ./Uutry -x9 uunoname
- > ./uucico -r1 -suunoname -x9 >/tmp/uunoname 2>&1&
- > tmp=/tmp/uunoname

- After the first failed try I reinitialized the modem to make sure
- it's state was the same as for the initial successful connection.
- But it still failed.
-
- It looked like the state of something had changed since the first Uutry
- run -- and maybe that something is what's causing the `time out'.
- So I deleted all uucp lock files and ran `fuser /dev/tty[fdm]' to see
- if some other process had one of those devices open -- but none did.
- Uutry still fails.

- ----------------------
- More background; some uucp configuration files
-
- /usr/lib/uucp/Systems:
- uunoname Any ACU 9600 9999999 "" ... [chat script deleted]
-
- /usr/lib/uucp/Devices:
- ACU ttyf2 - Any suprafax
-
- /usr/lib/uucp/Dialers:
- suprafax =,-, "" \dAT&F2\r\c OK ATDT\T\r\c CONNECT-\c-Connect

- If anyone can give me a lead I'd appreciate it.
