[comp.unix.questions] uucico problem

ianhogg@cs.umn.edu (Ian J. Hogg) (02/08/91)

I'm having a problem with uucp on a Sun sparcstation that I'm hoping thatr
someone can help me with.

I've got two systems (1 Sparc, 1 386 (running SCO Unix)).  I'm attempting to
directly connect the two.  Cu works fine.  However when I try uucico from the
Sun, the login sequence doesn't work.  It looks like the Sun is sending the
proper stuff but the 386 never responds.  It appears that ^M is not being 
interpreted as an end of line.

What can I try to fix this?  What do uucico & cu do differently?


Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

This question is by now a candidate for the FAQ file...

In either a Dialer chat script, or a Systems chat script, you need to have this
sequence first on the Sun:

	"" P_ZERO

BTW, RTFM, the Sun uucp dissertations do say this.
