[comp.mail.uucp] 4.3 UUCP Hayes dialer

jbs@eddie.MIT.EDU (Jeff Siegal) (09/16/87)

I am attempting to set up UUCP to dial out using Racal-Vadic VA2400VP
(Maxwell) modems.  Attempting to use the Hayes dialer (hys.c) fails in
a rather strange way: The modem replies "OK" to the initial setup
command, but the expect("OK\r", hd) call fails (does not find the
"OK").  I thought that the modem might be sending a linefeed before
the CR, so I took out the \r from the expect call, but that didn't
help.

This is with post-4.3-release UUCP obtained from seismo a while back.

Any ideas/suggestions/guesses?

I had a similar problem with multi-tech modems.  Turns out that
the hayes was sending OK\n\r and the multi-tech was sending
OK\r\n and it never matched.  I took out the \n\r and everything
works fine now.
