I'm trying to get UUPC to talk to a Sun 3/180 and it doesn't want to work correctly. I can log in easily [M state = P], but uupc times-out [M state= Y]. I've looked thru both sources and they do not seem to match. UUPC's startup() calls rmsg() which waits for a ^P. But uucico on the Sun sends a string "Shere". I don't understand why there is such a difference. Oh yes, I have UUPC's UUIO.EXE version 1.06 and a no-name IBM clone (if that really matters). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Doug Eastick BITNET: eastick@me.UTORONTO UUCP: ...!utgpu!me!eastick EDU: eastick@me.toronto.edu ...!utai!/

"uucico" on the Sun should be sending out "^PShere", not "Shere"; other versions of UUCP do so (possibly with "=<hostname>" after it, where "<hostname>" is the name of the machine in question), and I think this dates back to primordial times (i.e., V7). Whatever code is dumping what it sees from the Sun may not be printing the ^P, or may not be printing it in such a fashion that you can tell it *is* a ^P, but that's a different matter.
