I'm trying to talk UUCP to some other JPL sites over a broadband network utilizing Ungermann-Bass NIU's, connected to a serial port on a Sun-2/170. For some reason, UUCp will not talk to the port (/dev/ttya), yet `tip' and `kermit' have no qualms about it whatsoever. My uucico log looks like: >/usr/lib/uucp/uucico -r1 -sothersys -x9 >finds called >getto called >call: no. ttya for sys othersys NO DEVICE exit code 0 /dev/ttya: crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Nov 18 20:52 /dev/ttya (I tried chown uucp /dev/ttya and it didn't help) (chmod 777 did nothing either) L.sys: othersys SuMoTuWeThFrSa0000-2359 \ DIR 9600 ttya "" ^V >>-BREAK\r^V->> connect\sskal2\r\c\ Success. \r\c\ (etc.) L-devices: DIR ttya unused 9600 (`0' in place of `unused' makes no difference) ------ Since I don't have UUCP source in front of me, I don't know what conditions UUCP requires for a successful opening of the device. I had assumed that `tip' would do an exclusive open of the device, so I can't figure out why it is that `tip' can do it, but `uucico' can't. I figured it had to be a trivial thing like device access permissions, but it escapes me ... BTW, I have observed the same problem on a Sun-3/160M-8 running Sun OS 3.0 as well. -- Greg Earle UUCP: sdcrdcf!smeagol!earle; attmail!earle JPL ARPA: elroy!smeagol!earle@csvax.caltech.edu smeagol!earle@usc-oberon.usc.edu AT&T: +1 818 354 0876 Will this never-ending series of PLEASURABLE EVENTS never cease?

The format of the L-devices file is:

At least here, the dialer field is required which should be 'direct', so
try this:
DIR ttya unused 9600 direct
