- I had a fight to the death with the stock uucp under 3.51m trying to
- contact osu-cis over the weekend - in the end I used another machine
- with a UUCP of my own. I *think* the L-devices file format is:
-
- ACU tty000 - 2400 hayes
-
- since there is no dialler as such - it's part of the intelligent modem.
- There must also be a modemcap entry for hayes, of course, and 2400
- baud Hayes modems are subtly different from the AT&T modemcap 1200
- baud entry - I think CONNECT has to be replaced by 2400 as an expect
- string for successful dialling.
-
- I hit problems that looked like RS232 status line errors, but I couldn't
- track them down. The file on osu-cis dealing with Hayes covers HDB
- rather than version 2, and so can't help much. I find the directory
- structure of HDB a bit of an overkill, so I avoid it if possible.
-
- What is even more annoying is that last time I used this modem (2400
- baud hayes on tty000) under 3.51 it worked first time. I assumed it
- was a penalty of upgrading to 3.51m, but obviously it's something else.
-
- Good luck, anyway - Will
