[comp.mail.uucp] bad system name:

gregb@dowjone.UUCP (Gregory S. Baber) (08/09/89)

Hello, I have a problem that's driving me crazy! I have an L.sys entry that
looks like:

osucis Any cub 19200 cub "" +++\dATZ\r OK-+++\dATZ\r-OK A\dA\dAT\r\c OK-AT\r\c-OK-AT\r\c-OK ATX1S50=3\r OK ATDT9,16142923124\r 2400 \r "" \r\c Name? osu-cis nected \c GO \d\r\d\r\d\r in:--in:--in: Uanon

I'm trying to get to Ohio State. Whenever I run the command:

uucp osucis!~/GNU.how-to-get /usr/tmp

I get the error:

bad system name: osucis

I'm running on a Sun 3-50 with SunOS 3.5. I'm using a Telebit Trailblazer+.

No matter what I try, I get the bad system name error. I checked permissions
on all of the files and directories. Can someone suggest some things that I
haven't tried? The uuname command returns:

osucis

The L.sys entry works with uucico. What gives???

Well, for starters our system calls itself "osu-cis".  If your uucico
is expecting to see "Shere=osucis" it will be disappointed.

Also, later on in your chat script it appeared as if you were dialing
the 2400bps Micom switch number (614-292-3124).  Since you have a
Trailblazer you really ought to call our direct TB+.

Try starting out with something like
	osu-cis Any ACU 19200 1-614-292-5112 in:--in:--in: Uanon
and then doctoring it up like you do, to simulate a Dialers script.
