[This is a reposting found in comp.dcom.modems.. I thought it would be
interesting to the newsgroups -- sob]
MASSCOMP is trying to port HoneyDanBer UUCP from AT&T, and people are
beating on it to deal with our small number supported modems. We could
distribute a small Devices file, with just entries for the CDC Series
II, Cermetek, VenTel, and whatever else we ship with our MC5000
machines. However, I feel this would be just as silly as shipping an
/etc/termcap file with no entries except for entries for our graphics
tubes and wy75 ascii terminals.
[Hayes support would be nice!]
Please send me mail with the information that HDB UUCP needs to talk to
your favorite modem. I will collect them, and post a summary file to
the net. Help make the world safe for unsupported modems! (Entries
for the various Hayes modems would be a good start...)
