[comp.dcom.modems] Xenix/386 and Telebit Trailblazers.

I just recently got my Telebit Trailblazer for my system.
The system is running Xenix/386.  After not having much
luck with just the modem manual, I called Telebit and
got the information on how they recommend you set up the
modem for Xenix.  In the new documentation, they referred
to a utility disk from SCO.  Well, now that I have both
the new documentation and supposedly a dialer, I can't
seem to get it to dial for anything.  It is timing out
waiting on the OK response.  I eventually got around the
problem of getting the initial OK, but it never gets to
the dialing section of the dialer.

Is there anyone out there who has a working dialer for
Xenix/386 and the Telebit?  I am at my wits end.  I have
had the modem for  3 weeks now, and all it can do is
accept calls.

I'm running Xenix 286 with the Telebit.  The problem is that it seems to
take Telebits several seconds to establish the high-speed connection and
then it's perhaps several seconds more to get an OK if I'm dialing into
a busy system.  These together are way too long for the default timeout 
setting of uucico.

However, this can be overcome by judicious placing of \d delay markers in 
the L.sys command line, such as:

	uunet Any ACU 19200 x-xxx-xxx-xxxxU ogin: xxxxxxx\d\d\d\d\d ssword: xxx

Try debugging with uucico -x4 if you need to see exactly what's happening.
