Has anyone added support for direct telnet outdial to an Annex terminal
in some flavor of UUCP?
We do this now by using Annex's rtelnet, a user process that presents
a device interface to a telnet connection, which does work. I just think
we would get better performance without dragging the data through an
extra process.

I didn't see too much change in performance, but at least I don't have an unneeded process running. The following are sample entries from my Devices and Systems file. Since I'm using the built-in TCP "dialer", I've had to include the modem DIALER entry(MultiTech V.32/V.42) in the Systems file. This method assumes your UUCP supports TCP. The name of the terminal server in the sample is "annex", the port is 3. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Devices ------- TCP,et - - Any TCP - Systems ------- machineA Any TCP,getfx 7003 annex "" AT&W1Z OK ATDT123456 CONNECT login: test ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the Systems file, I'm forcing a preference for the 'g' protocol since I'm going over phone lines. For the ANNEX, I've set the mode = adaptive and type = dial_in. You may want to set mode = slave if your modem is only outbound. This method should work for most terminal servers, we use it on Emulex and Lantronix as well. Hope this helps. Dave St.Clair dave@exloghou.portal.com P.S. If anyone knows of a way to not include the Dialers entry in the Systems file, let me know.
