We just got a Trailblazer for our Sun 3/160 running SunOS 4.0, which we
use for uucp.
We talk to one site that can't handle anything faster than 9600 baud. We
talk to another site that talks 19.2 to its modem. Ideally, we'd like to
autobaud between the TB and the Sun, so that we'd always be talking at
whatever baud rate was expected. Unfortunately, if you set the S51 register
to 254 or 255, and you want to talk 19.2 kbaud, you have to type AAT initially
instead of AT. Our uucico doesn't (seem to) let you change how it talks to
the modem, so I can't just tell it to use AAT instead of AT.
What I've done instead is to set S51 to 5, and always talk 19.2 to the
modem. If I don't have flow control, is this a good idea for the 9600 baud
site? Will the uucp spoofing suffice for flow control? It seems to be
working so far, but there are occasional delays (2+ seconds) when transferring
large files.
Even better, can somebody tell me how to get CTS/RTS flow control on
the Sun?
Thanks for any help.

Contact both Sun support and Telebit. Sun should be asked for the patch for the TTY driver which enables flow control to work reasonably at speeds greater then 9600 baud. Telebit should be asked for a configuration guide sheet(s) for setting up the TB on a sun system. When I asked Sun for the info, they E-Mailed it to me (uuencoded). Telebit faxed me the configuration params within 1 hour of requesting... =============================================================================== Marc Evans | decvax<--\ /-->marc<--\ | That's not a bug...It's Synergytics| harvard<--\ / \ | a design feature... 8-) Pelham, NH | necntc<---->ima<---------->edogte | ======================= ===============================================================================

XENIX uucico calls /usr/lib/uucp/dial first if the L.sys entry is "ACU <speed>". A TB+ dialer was posted to one of the newsgroups some time ago (it does not work under XENIX, different .h files, but it told me how to modify the generic dial.c to work). The dialer I am using now outputs AT\r at the correct speed, looks for an OK, tries again if no OK, ad nauseum until the timer stops it. I believe that BSD UNIX does the same sort of thing and know nothing about HDB uucp.
