I am trying to bring up a UUCP connection between two SUN workstations via a serial cable connecting a serial port of one SUN to a serial port of the other SUN (this is a temporarly kludge until we get ethernet). One is a SUN 2 and the other is a SUN 3, both running version 3.0 of the system software. I followed the instructions as best as I could in the manual on how to bring up UUCP on both ends. I also verified that serial communication was established by catting a file the serial port on one SUN and catting in from the serial port on the other SUN. One thing that I am uncertain about is if I need to enable logins on the serial port of one (or both) of the SUN's. I've tried various combinations of allowing or disallowing login's on both machines, but mail I try sending from one machine to the other never gets delivered. The file /usr/spool/uucp/LOGFILE shows error messages to the effect that calls to the other machine failed and/or something about there being no device, or something to that effect. If anyone has experience with setting up UUCP over a dedicated serial line between 2 UNIX systems (not necessarily SUN's) and can give me some constructive advice, please let me know. I do not read net news regularly, so I'd appreciate it if you are replying to send me electronic mail directly, and/or call me on the phone. -Michael J.
