- Attached to my Sparcstation 2 is a Microcom QX/V.32c modem. I can
- use tip and kermit to dial out and the modem deftly handles dialins. I
- successfully configured and regularly execute uucp for file transfers,
- but not news and mail.

- Your problem sounds like something other than a modem problem. Check
- Permissions, the account shell on the remote system, etc. And get back
- to us with a more specific description of the failures. Asking in one
- fo the Sun newsgroups may get you quicker results, since the problem
- seems to be with the uucp configuration rather than with the modem setup.
