[comp.sys.hp] Help with ct

wehr@fmeed1.UUCP (Bruce Wehr) (10/18/89)

I've been trying to get ct(1) working.  I'm running HP-UX 6.5 on a
9000/370.  I'd like it to use our Trailblazer at 19200.  It looks like
this:

$ ct 95551212
No 1200 dialers on this system
$ ct -s19200 95551212
No 19200 dialers on this system
$

The relevant lines in our /usr/lib/uucp/Devices file are:

ACUBLAZER culd01 culd01 19200 tbfast
ACUBLAZER culd01 culd01 2400 tb2400
ACUBLAZER culd01 culd01 2400nomnp tb2400nomnp
ACUBLAZER culd01 culd01 1200 tb1200
Direct culd01 - 19200 direct

The relevant lines in our /usr/lib/uucp/Dialers file are:

#
# Telebit dialers
#
tbfast	=W-,	"" \K\pA\pA\pA\pA\pA\pT OK ATS50=255DTW\T CONNECT\sFAST
tb2400	=W-,	"" \K\pA\pA\pA\pA\pA\pT OK ATS50=000DTW\T CONNECT\s2400
tb2400nomnp	=W-,	"" \K\pA\pA\pA\pA\pA\pT OK ATS95=000DTW\T CONNECT\s2400
tb1200	=W-,	"" \K\pA\pA\pA\pA\pA\pT OK ATS50=000DTW\T CONNECT\s1200

Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated!

Perusing the "UUCP, HP-UX Concepts and Tutorials" manual,
I find no reference to an entry in Devices called ACUBLAZER. 
The only entries for the first field that appear there are:

ACU
Direct
xxxxxx   ( some system name)
DK
DKxx     

No ACUBLAZER field. I also find that setting up an ACU line
and saying 'ct 5551212' the program acts reasonably on 6.5 and 3.1

That's it!  Thanks!  It was a left over from Old-Style UUCP.  We have 2
different types of ACU's here:  Sytek boxes (to access machines on our
building LAN), and a Trailblazer (to access machines over phone lines).
For a few machines, I can use either method to access them, but for
most, I must use either the LAN *or* the phones.

I had to distinguish between the 2 ACU types in my Systems file (use
ACUSYTEK for machine A, use ACUBLAZER for machine B).  The generic type
ACU wasn't sufficient.  So, I also had to make the distinction in my
Devices file.  uucico used this info to choose an appropriate device,
and would pass the name to /usr/lib/dialit to chose the correct dialer
routine.  Everything was fine.

I guess HDB UUCP looks at things a little differently.  But if you look
in the Tutorials manual, you will still find the reference ACUHAYESSMART
in an example Systems entry (p 2-15, if we have the same book).  How
does HDB map that to a device if there's no ACUHAYESSMART in the Devices
file?  The book also leads me to believe that Sytek is now a built-in
dialer, but it isn't clear on how to configure the system to use it.
Nor does it have any reference to ct(1) command.

Anyway, thanks again for getting me off the ground!
