[net.micro.att] "cu" probs on 7300

I am having problems running "cu" on my 7300.  The suggested arguments
don't work at all.  Can someone with more experience help me?

I have had luck with the following:

	cu -s 1200 -l /dev/ph1 5551212

Where	-s is the line speed flag
	1200 is the actual line speed
	-l is the line flag
	/dev/ph1 is the line or device to be used (you can specify
	either the phone port or the serial port)
	5551212 is a dialing sequence that the built in modem understands

Remember that the Telephone Management stuff must be set up so that
one of the phone ports is a data line (not voice).  The dialing sequence
above can only be used with the built in modem.  There are some neat 
commands listed in the _Communications_Management_ manual that aren't
available for your run-of-the-mill modems on the market.  If you want
to use cu through the serial port, just leave off the dialing sequence.
I can't remember the device name of the serial port.  One last thing
beforehand...just as in the normal cu, the disconnect command is
'~.<CR>' (that's a tilde followed by a period followed by a carriage
return).

I hope that helps some.
