A site I need to call is using 7 bits and even parity. Uucico uses 8 bits, no parity. How do I get uucico to use 7 bits, even parity? I am running SCO's UNIX System V revision 3.2. Thank you. Dean deanr@lakesys.lakesys.com

Look at the *.c files in /usr/lib/uucp. There's one for the Telebit, and it documents each of the settings, including these three, and tells you which register is being set. A quick mod to create a version of the dialer program, an addition to the Devices file, and you can use a different dialer for this (and other odd) site. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ : Steven List @ Transact Software, Inc. :^>~ : : Chairman, Unify User Group of Northern California : : {apple,coherent,limbo,mips,pyramid,ubvax}!itkin@guinan.Transact.COM :

The problem did not affect uucp since it seems to handle that OK on its own, but was ugly using cu. For a long time I would call with cu and just type in the correct responses at what I took to be the login and password prompts, then had the appropriate stty statement in my .cshrc file on the Sun. When I updated last week to Xenix 2.3.3 I found the -e option to cu! This allows me to specify the parity when I invoke cu and now I can read those prompts and even the first part of my fortune when the system starts. -- ....microsoft--\ Bill Campbell; Celestial Software ...uw-beaver-----!thebes!camco!bill 6641 East Mercer Way ....fluke------/ Mercer Island, Wa 98040 ....hplsla----/ (206) 232-4164
