[comp.sys.hp] uugetty on HP300 and HP800 doesn't work for us

vic@zen.co.uk (Victor Gavin) (08/28/89)

If someone can help me with this problem I'd be most grateful.


We have an 840 in the office and a 360 at a remote site. We would like to
connect the 840 and 360 together using HDB-UUCP via 37212A/B MODEMs.

The problem is that I can't get uugetty to respond when it is ``attached'' to
the modem line and has been instructed to wait for some input from the remote
machine (using the -r option) before issuing a login prompt. Uugetty on the
360 appears to work OK when it hasn't been given the -r option, but removing
this option doesn't help the 840.

Whether the 840 dials the 360 or vice-versa nothing happens except that the
remote site hangs up the connection when some input is sent to it.




On the 360 [HP-UX 6.5, 37212A MODEM] the inittab entry is

01:2:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -r -t 120 /dev/ttyd01 1200

and the modem devices are

crw-rw-rw-   1 root     other      1 0x090001 Aug 14 15:11 cua01
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     other      1 0x090001 Aug 15 16:05 cul01
crw--w--w-   1 uucp     root       1 0x090004 Aug 14 17:28 tty01
crw--w--w-   1 uucp     other      1 0x090000 Aug 14 15:11 ttyd01

On the 840 [HP-UX 3.1, 37212B MODEM] the inittab entry is

01:2:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -r -t 15 /dev/tty0p1 1200

and the device files are

crw-rw-rw-   2 root     other      1 0x100001 Aug 12  1988 cua0p1
crw-rw-rw-   2 root     root       1 0x100001 Aug 16 11:04 cul0p1
crw--w--w-   2 uucp     software   1 0x200001 Aug 14 18:29 tty0p1


Many thanks
