[comp.unix.xenix] How to use UUCP with Excelan TCP/IP

itkin@mrspoc.Transact.COM (Steven M. List) (08/17/89)

We recently installed an Excelan network and have not found any way to
run UUCP between connected nodes.  Someone mentioned here on the net
something about devices that could be used for that purpose.  Can anyone
tell me how that's done?

Also, has anyone gotten any mailers to work such that the "exos:" prefix
is transparent to mail users?

  You specify /dev/ttyT32 (Xenix 386) or T16 (Xenix/286) as the device
to use for the connect. Depending on your version of uucp you modify
either L_devices or Devices to support this. The device has the
characteristic that when you open it the first line is taken as the
system name. You L.sys or Systems file would look something like:

in Systems:
	voodoo Any TCPIP 9600 - "" voodoo.battz.org gin: uucp ord: funny

in Devices:
	TCPIP ttyT32 - 9600 direct

  Of course this is all in the Excellan MANUAL (hint!).
