- Install UUCP, and then add a suitable entry to /usr/lib/uucp/Dialers.
- Take an existing entry, probably one of the Hayes or Hayes compatible
- entries, and modify it.
-
- Then use that dialers entry with uugetty, just as the many XXXin or
- XXXi entries are used. Check /usr/lib/uucp/fix-* for example
- inittab lines using such entries.
