I am trying to get uucp set up to call a mail-forwarder machine. The problem is that my uucp package (Mac/gnuucp) has documentation on how to get the program to login with a direct-connect, but not a multi-level connect. What I mean is my directions tell me what to put in L.sys if the expected sequence of characters incoming from the modem is CONNECT 2400 login: My situation is that I have to CONNECT, then choose a machine, then i get the login prompt. The conversation would look like below, where what my uucp needs to type is delimited by "=" characters (and an implied return at the end ...) CONNECT 2400 Local>>=connect alamo= Connecting ... (113.89.4.1 7.13) Success. alamo login: =uucp= Password:=uucp_password= So, eventually I DO need to look for the login prompt, but first I need to find Local>>, then select the machine, then look for login:, then give the login name and password. Will someone tell me how to do this or send some documentation, or tell me where i can ftp the documentation? Thanks, Jeff

Doesn't look too tough. How about: Local>> connect\ alamo login: uucp word: uucp_password The \ quotes the space so that 'connect alamo' is one string. Then just wait for 'login:'. -- =============================================================================== Roger Vanderveen rbv@cypress.UUCP or San Jose, CA USA rbv%cypress@daver.bungi.com ===============================================================================

I had to deal with this recently, I don't know of any formal documentation. After experimenting with quoting using \, which didn't work, enclosing the string in double quotes ("), which didn't work, I hit upon a solution which I believe to be portable (at least for ASCII machines) which is to use the octal escape sequence \020 which is the code for a space. And hopefully inews is happy about quoted text.

The S5R4 BNU UUCP, as documented in the Prentice-Hall books, states
that "\s" represents a space. This claim is also made in prior
versions of the Systems Admin Guide (System V/386 version, to be
exact). I'm not sure if Berkeley UUCP (or older Sun UUCP) supports
this or not.
