[comp.unix.questions] HDB uucp on 3B2, SVR3.1

Hiho netpeople,

     We use an AT&T 3B2/400 running System V Release 3.1.  We use
a couple of Hayes-compatible modems and want very much to make
them work going both directions, but we find that cu and uucico
won't make the call unless run with debug mode (-xN, N > 0).

     We run the modems in "CD-really-reflects-carrier-detect" mode
so we can detect the line going away, and Devices uses the
"tty11,M" notation to say open without carrier.  The Dialers
file uses the \M<script>\m notation as well to enable modem-
control once carrier is seen.

     If I flip the modem switch so CD is always on the transfer
goes great, but otherwise we need to run debug.  This is really a
bummer -- has anybody seen this problem?  Any suggestions?

     Steve
