I just got a uunet account and have been having trouble logging
in to uunet via Compuserve. It seems that compuserve wants logins
at 7-bits, even parity. But it looks like my Xenix box is trying
to log in at 8-bits, no parity. Is there a way in the Systems
file (or anywhere else) to tell my system to use 7/even when
it dials out?
I asked uunet, and the response was "No idea, call compuserve."
I called compuserve and they said "Unix? We never heard of that
communications program. Do you have Procomm?" (Honest!)
Also, it seems my system is forcing incoming callers to use
no parity. Could someone give me a gettydefs line that works
and doesn't force callers to use no parity?
Thanks very much!
-David
