Is there some way to detect a "NO DIAL TONE" or "BUSY" using HDB. My TrailBlazer is smart enough to know these things, but HDB just sits there until it times out. I know this can be done with modemcap, but what about with this ultra-modern UUCP? Also, I am having trouble with modem control on incoming calls. I want to have my modem talk to my computer at 19200 and have CTS handle the rest. This works fine on outgoing, so I suspect my gettydef has a problem. Can anyone share a good gettydef entry? Thanks... ...Jim Gottlieb <jimmy@PIC.UCLA.EDU> or <jimmy@denwa.UUCP>

YES YES YES, that would be a most useful feature if there is a way to do it. If anybody knows how to make HDB UUCP respect the various responses from todays smart modems (I have several HAYES 2400's and several Telebit Trailblazer Plus's), PLEASE Email me the information, or post to the net as you see fit... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UUCP/SMTP : howardl@wb3ffv | Howard D.

The only UUCP version I am aware of that does *totally* general call progress monitoring is the new 4.3BSD version that Rick Adams and I are torturing. (Hey Bob, have you tried compiling that puppy yet?) It's rather difficult to do in anything less complex than C code; try making it work with a dozen different Hayes compatibles and you'll see what I mean. But it sure is nice seeing BUSY, VOICE, NO DIAL TONE, etc. in my LOGFILE. C'mon Peter, we're waiting for you to say something. :-) <csg>

The things it was missing (in decreasing importance) were: 1) The ability to flush the input buffer. 2) The ability to branch Backwards (with a loop limit counter) 3) The ability to change baud rate. 4) The ability to change the timeout interval. 5) Branching labels. With all of those abilities, it would have been GREAT, since, it could then handle almost ANY modem. -- ------------- Stephen Samuel {ihnp4,ubc-vision,vax135}!alberta!edm!steve or userzxcv@uqv-mts.bitnet

Someone wrote some very flexible script driven dial() routines that were the most flexible things I've seen for uucp. It allowed you to jump to various states depending on what the modem response was. As I recall, the code was PD, and so could be put into HDB. -- Jon Zeeff Branch Technology, uunet!umix!b-tech!zeeff zeeff%b-tech.uucp@umix.cc.umich.edu
