MASSCOMP is trying to port HoneyDanBer UUCP from AT&T, and people are
beating on it to deal with our small number supported modems. We could
distribute a small Devices file, with just entries for the CDC Series
II, Cermetek, VenTel, and whatever else we ship with our MC5000
machines. However, I feel this would be just as silly as shipping an
/etc/termcap file with no entries except for entries for our graphics
tubes and wy75 ascii terminals.
Please send me mail with the information that HDB UUCP needs to talk to
your favorite modem. I will collect them, and post a summary file to
the net. Help make the world safe for unsupported modems! (Entries
for the various Hayes modems would be a good start...)
