[net.unix] Do Hayes modems work with uucp?

karsh@geowhiz.UUCP (Bruce Karsh) (10/05/85)

I have been told that Hayes modems can not be made to work properly
with uucp because the Hayes modem will intercept and munge some
sequences of characters that uucp sends.  Is this true?  Has
anybody made uucp work with Hayes modems?

I have used a hayes on a Sun for months with no problems at all.
I have used a courier 2400 on a masscomp for a couple of months
using a hayes dialer subroutine (in uucp) and had no problems.

So, from my perspective, there are no problems using a hayes with uucp.

pesnta has used Hayes 1200 modems for a couple of years and they do the job
of pushing news/mail/uucp quite well.  If the Hayes sees one second of
dead time, followed by +++ and another second of dead time, it will go 
'command mode' and that will cause a uucp timeout.  This should be rare.

Hayes modems work fine.  They are also very configurable.  We have 
uucp turn off the '+++' toggle to command mode.  Bye setting the
proper dip switches and sending the proper set-up commands you can
drive the Hayes with tip and uucp very nicely.

My "Hayes compatible" (Prometheus ProModem 1200) has a switch that
disables command recognition.  (I found this out when I accidentally
hit it!)  Depending on your model of Hayes, it might also?
