I am trying to make a site BOTH dial in AND dial out. If the modem line is disabled then I can make calls. If the modem line is enabled I can ONLY RECEIVE calls. I thought that I could make this work both ways. I have entries in /usr/lib/uucp/Device for the dialout line : ACU Any 1200-2400 - /usr/lib/uucp/dialHA12 and I have enabled the line. I have RTFM until I am starting to memorize it. I have BOTH the Nutshell handbooks. I still cannot get this to work.

Also, how are you trying to dial out (with what program). It is possible that a communications program is not setting up the lock files properly.

I appreciate the RTFM anxiety! My dial-in/out started working when I set up my Hayes-compatible modem just the way the manual said to -- I thought I had it right, and could dial out just ONCE , and then could not receive anymore. I believe the critical parameter was having the modem reset to defaults on losing DTR. Getty then runs uuchat to re-set (again?) the modem on re-initialization. I'll email you my parameters if that would help. Reply to clay@uci!haapi over the uucp net.

I have an almost identical problem. And again the texts are of no help. In addition, when I set up my 2.3 Xenix to run to my AT&T 3B1 both with HDB uucp, they eventually start shooting logins at each other and performance is degraded and communications is shot. Clearly there is a little secret here that I, and apparently others are missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- R. K.

On the 3B1 you will have to use uugetty. uugetty does not put out a prompt until it receives a character. On Xenix you have a small problem. Xenix does not use uugetty. You could try writing a small program that will replace getty, and wait until it sees something on the port, then call the real getty. Inelegant, but it should work.
