I'm sure I saw this one discussed in the last few months. What is the technique used to connect the 3b1/PC7300 (tty000) to a host system via a direct connect RS232 cable? (I have an eight wire connection that works fine with terminals) I've tried a number of variations with the /usr/lib/uucp/... files with little or no success. So, I have surmised that I do not have my files (L.sys, L-devices, etc.) set up correctly. (The testing is taking place under ver 2.0, could that be it?) I would like to test the 'uucico' file transfer capability with direct connect cable rather than 'modem-to-modem' transfers. We would like to purchase a number of these "fireside sale" PC7300's for workstation/terminals. ($450.00/terminal or $595.00/PC7300 in my book is no contest). However, if the slow baud rate problem can't be resolved (inexpensively) we'll have to resort to the terminals. I get a 'login:' prompt from the host with: cu -s 9600 -l tty000 -e dir (was there a solution to the slow baud rate here?) (I seem to be connected at around 4800 baud) I've logged in and done a number of tasks. I know the connection is solid. So where do you think I've gone wrong? -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Pete Sherwood Voice (207) 796-2301 uunet!usm3b2!ittg!pete ** No disclaimers needed where I work. **
