There are no versions of uucp in the public domain. Any posting of uucp sources to the net would be a blatant license violation. --Lauren-- P.S. There are various versions of uucp that work with the Hayes. You should contact the vendor of your binary for help. --LW--

> There are no versions of uucp in the public domain. Any posting > of uucp sources to the net would be a blatant license violation. Didn't mean to offend anybody -- I guess I should have known better. The reason I asked such a brash question is this: It just so happens that a version of cu *was* posted to net.sources recently. I've found that extremely useful, & I guess you could call it the Push-Your-Luck department. I know you are working on [or have finished] ports of a uucp package to various systems, on which you would stand to make some money, I assume. Please don't think that my posting is meant to imply that you aren't entitled to it, or to undermine your business. If there are no PD versions of uucp then that's the end of it, as far as I'm concerned. I'd buy your uucp for VMS tormorrow if I were in charge of the budget of the school where I teach part time -- which of course I'm not. As a software vendor myself I'm certainly not trying to encourage any form of piracy! -Best, Jim Rosenberg decvax!idis!pitt!amanuen!jr

Actually, come to think of it, there's a way to dial a Hayes even if your particular uucp can't support the necessary L.sys constructs. What you do is set up a separate little program (maybe even a shell file) to do the dialing, then let IT transfer to uucico (just to do the login sequence from L.sys) after dialing is complete. While such a technique may not be elegant, it should be workable in almost every situation with virtually any modem and even ancient uucp's. Feel free to contact me if you want some specific help -- I know the Hayes pretty well. --Lauren--

Hmmm... the way we dial a Hayes is:
tdi1 0300-0300 tty02 300 "" "ATDT. . .
(I'm working from memory, L.sys is unreadable to me; the 0300-0300 isn't
my idea and the uucp administrator is following the corollary to Murphy's
Law (if it works, don't change it); reasonable considering all the uucp
problems we've had). Does this work on many/most uucico's?
