I've got a system running Xenix 2.3.2, with a modem off COM1: Everything was working fine until a few days ago. I've checked the modem and the serial port (under ms-dos) and they work fine. I have no uucp jobs queue'd up and when I do a ps -ef, I see a process running that says: /usr/lib/uucp/dialHA24 -hx0 tty1a 2400 I've got tty1a disabled, and tty1A enabled. Every time I try to cu -s2400 -ltty1a dir, It tells me that the device is locked. I have double and triple checked my /usr/lib/uucp/Devices and I have ACU tty1a - 2400 /usr/lib/uucp/dialHA24. I'm stumped. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Perry Minyard ..!uunet!emory!bluemtn!perry

Perry - There exists a lock file that uucp and cu touch to tell the system the port is in use. Check the file: /usr/spool/uucp/LCK..tty1a If you know that there is not a modem session running at the time, just blow away this file and you should be off to the races!

I knew this and I've removed the file!!! It keeps coming back though! I think it's a problem with the dialer I'm using. I think it's getting hung, and when the getty tries to initialize the modem using the dialHA24, it hangs... Thanks for the input-- PM
