[comp.mail.uucp] trying to get HDB to talk to BSD

djm@eng.umd.edu (David J. MacKenzie) (02/26/91)

I'm trying to get an SCO Unix 3.2.2 system running HDB to talk to a
Sun running the 4.3BSD uucp (NOT Sun's HDB).  The SCO system is
calling on a Multitech Hayes-compat. modem to an Annex terminal
server, from which it telnets to the Sun's uucpd port.  From there,
things go fine until they recognize each other, then nothing happens
until they time out.  Anyone have a guess about what's not happening?
Here's the end of 'uutry -x9' output when I try to send files to the Sun.
mojo is the sun, edfdc is the SCO.

Notice your omsg "Sedfdc -Q0 -x9" got echoed back to you, when your system
was expecting an "ROK" message from the remote.  The echo is coming
from your terminal server (which was unable to negotiate the telnet ECHO
option with the uucp daemon).  It is a fair bet that other parts of the
conversation are getting garbled.

You might consult documentation or technical support to discover how
you can make transparent TCP connections without the intrusion of
telnet protocol.
