I'm running HDB UUCP on an AT&T 3B1, and would like to experiment >(having ongoing problems with a UUCP link due to buffering in SUNY's IBX >digital phone system). Any suggestions would be appreciated! According to the Devices-file supplied with the AT&T HDB Source: [lots'n'lots deleted] ######## # # # NOTE: blank lines and lines that begin with a <space>, <tab>, or # are # ignored. # protocols can be specified as a comma-subfield of the device type # either in the Devices file (where device type is field 1) # or in the Systems file (where it is field 3). So, to get HDB to use f protocol on ACUs, try ACU,f .... or, in Systems dummysys Any ACU,f Of course, if your uucico doesn't support f, forget it.
