I have a question about the relationship between uucico and stty.
Let's suppose we do have uucp sites A and B which talk to each other via a
dial-up line using standard 1200/2400 modems. Both are system V sites and are
using HDB's UUCP.
Suppose machine A is calling machine B with uucico. The stty parameters of the
B side of the line will be set according to the /etc/gettydefs entry correspon-
ding to the /etc/inittab line for that tty port.
My question is: What does set the stty parameters for the calling side???
Merci a l'avance :-)

I would think that uucico would set its own tty parameters on the calling and called machines. I.E. the master uucico sets its own paramters and makes the call. On the receiving end, as soon as the login session is initiated uucico is invoked as the shell. THe first (or one of the first) thing it does is set tty modes. No? -- --- Michael R.

Quite simple really, uucico simply does a couple of ioctl calls, first to get the port parameters which it will save in one structure. then it will modify them to suit its needs and do another ioctl call to set the new parameters on the port. On exit it will normally reset the port to the state it found it in upon entry. -- Jack F.

"uucico". It chooses the baud rate based on assorted configuration files (see the documentation), and chooses most of the rest of the options based on "what works with the 'g' protocol", i.e. 8 bits, no parity, no special input processing, OPOST off. (It may choose other options with protocols other than "g".) In fact, since "uucico" will be fired up on machine B when machine A logs in, the slave "uucico" will *also* choose most of the rest of the options based on what the "g" protocol wants; the input baud rate will be established by the login procedure, but a lot of the other settings established by the login procedure will be discarded. I.e., the slave "uucico" will choose 8 bits, no parity, no special input processing, OPOST off.
