Well, here's another uucp puzzle that maybe some guru out there will be able to diagnose. I've dug thru TFM to no avail, and short of a search for the source code, I don't know what to do next other than say "It just doesn't work; sorry." This is an Ultrix 3.1 calling an Ultrix 4.1 system. Both have accepted incoming uucp calls from other machines, so I know that uucico is basically sound. But when I make this system call that one, the call fails in the dialing routines. The call does go through; I can see the modems make the connection, and a login prompt goes back across the line. But the calling machine says: | % uucico -r1 -X9 -x9 -ssppip7 | No match. | Spoolname is: /usr/spool/uucp/sys/DEFAULT | anlwrk, file is null, fp=0 | bldlst pre:: | In SubDir, directory is:/usr/spool/uucp/sys/DEFAULT/C.: | in bldlst - found file for C.sppip7 | finds called | getto called | call: no. 67031 for sys sppip7 | Looking for ACU | Using ACU to call | Dialing 67031 | correct brand CDS296 | Using generic | Calling gen_setupGeneric dialer error on /dev/ttyd0 | close generic, Def = 7 | clsacu entered | clsacu entered | about to close acu | clsacu entered | exit code 0 | % There is a long pause after the "Calling gen_setup" while the modems make their connection; the "Generic dialer error ..." seems to occur about the time that the CONNECT message and the login prompt come down the line. I've tried making the call via tip, and it goes through with no problem. I can log in and all that. But the dialer routines think there's something wrong. BTW, here is the CDS296 entry from /etc/acucap: | CDS296|CDS-hayes|Concord Data Systems imitating a Hayes smartmodem 9600:\ | :cr:\ | :dd#1:\ | :di=ATDT:\ | :dt=\r:\ | :fd#80:\ | :hu:\ | :is=9600:\ | :os=CONNECT:\ | :rs=,:\ | :sd#1:\ | :sr=OK:\ | :ss=\rAT\r\d: Any idea how one might go about figuring out what the Generic dialer error might be? [I hope the Reply-to field works; this is a shared account, and it is a lot easier if people reply to me directly than if we go throuth the fuss of sorting out each others' mail. Administrative rules can be a real pain in the ... sometimes. :-]
