I am interested in improving the L.sys entries for uucp, and would
like to collect advice and input from UNIX SA's and wizards.
Poll questions:
(1) What is the initial speed of your dial-in ports?
(2) Do your ports autobaud reliably?
(3) Should L.sys entries use autobauding instead of BREAK's to step
through the speed table (i.e. in:--in: vs. in:-BREAK-in:-BREAK...)?
I am interested in replacing all of the BREAK sequences with autobaud
entries wherever possible in the L.sys file (this has the side benefit
of reducing the size of the already large L.sys file). I have yet
to find an example system that answers initially at 300, and can
autobaud to 1200, however it seems that all systems (with standard telco
equivalent modems) that answer at 1200 can autobaud down 300.
Please send your responses/suggestions to me, and thanks in advance.
