In trying to track down why uucp fails 9 out 10 times, if found this bit of disturbing output from setting debug on an outgoing uucp transfer. ISTRIP cleared imsg >^M^J^PShere=ccicpg^@Login Successful: System=whocares omsg "Sboink -Q0 -x7" imsg >^J^PROK^@msg-ROK Note that omsg reports that -Q0 is being sent. This switch value should be the current value in /usr/spool/uucp/.Sequence for that site. If this is really what is getting sent, It's no small wonder uucico fails attempting to resynchronize. I don't know if this being sent without debug. If this happens only in debug, then debuging is a pretty useless effort. This really anoying. Things are bad enough just trying track problems without creating new ones. Does happen to any else, or do I live in vacuum? This is SCO XENIX 2.3.2. Unfortunately, this also 286 XENIX, so a fix isn't likely to be forthcoming. -- Harald Milne RISCy business uunet!ccicpg!boink!harald

I have problem which looked simple at first but got
complicated rather quickly. I have a 386 machine running SCO Xenix.
The machine is connected to a terminal server via an ethernet cable
to provide access to the Xenix box to several users. This
configuration was rather simple to install.
What I want to do now is use one of the terminal ports on the
terminal server and install a printer on it (see figure.) A simple
solution is to configure the scheduler so that it sends its output to
the /dev/tty? to which the printer is connected on the terminal server.
Scenario:
--------- term1 term2 term(n) *
\ \ / ___ * printer *
\ \ | / *
|| | |
+----------+
| Racal |
| Terminal |
| Server |
+-----+----+
| Ethernet cable
<------+-----------------------+-------------------------->
|
+----+----+
| SCO | ( Using Excelan Network Software )
| Xenix |
| box |
+---------+
This actually verks. BUT, I have to first, hook up a
terminal to the port that will be used by the printer and to logon to
Xenix box. Second, I have to remove the terminal from the port and
replace it with printer. And third, I have to reassign the device to
which the printer scheduler sends its output so that it uses the same
/dev/tty? as the printer. Quite a mess, eh? Exactly!
I've also tried making the printer a remote printer by
making the port for the printer on the terminal server a slave port
and assigning a network address to the port. BUT, I can't quite make
it work though, ack!
I'm baffled. Any ideas, anyone? huh? huh?
