With regard to plain vanilla SCO Xenix 2.2 UUCP:
Is there any way to specify in the L.sys file, that control characters other
than Break and EOT be transmitted during a login sequence ?
A site which I would like to connect with uses a communications front-end
which requires a sequence including several Returns and Ctrl-D's to identify
which machine is to be connected with. Once passed this, the Unix login takes
over and all is as it should be.
The Xenix manuals specify 3 special keywords, `@', BREAK and PAUSEn which
send an EOT, Break and pause n seconds. The Ctrl-D's are probably no problem,
I should be able to insert `@' to indicate Ctrl-D in the sequence. However, I
can not find any reference to sending Returns, or any other control characters.
I have tried \r and \15 which appear to transmit slash-r and slash-1-5
respectively. I have also tried `^M' which doesn't seem to send a thing.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I hate to say it, but you can get the "Trailblazer uucico" package from SCO for free, which includes all of this stuff. It is also easy to patch the number of windows, which can give you a 50% increase in uucp transfer speed. Why not just call SCO and ask for it? -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {uunet | philabs | seismo}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me

AND - the uucico supports the \d, \r, etc commands you need. - john. -- John F.

With regard to plain vanilla, no. Some of us thought this was generally useful stuff, and it got hacked in earlier this year. SCO Support (800-626-4381) has a "Telebit Utilities" disk available which contains a uucico that has the expect-send sequences you are looking for. Additionally, Xenix 2.3 (soon) has Honey-DanBer UUCP, which also has this capability. I apologize for wasting bandwidth on this subject again, but while I'm at it: comp.unix.intel is my pref. for the *_ONE_* newsgroup for *NIX discussions on i*86's.

Well, the uucico that comes with 2.2 (and less) does not support any other expect/send escapes, but SCO has a version that does; it's part of the "Telebit utilities" support-level diskette. Call SCO support and ask for the diskette; I don't know if they'll send it to non-supported customers or not. If you can wait, 2.3 is supposed to have HoneyDanBer UUCP. -- John Owens john@jetson.UPMA.MD.US SMART HOUSE L.P. uunet!jetson!john (old uucp) +1 301 249 6000 john%jetson.uucp@uunet.uu.net (old internet)

I had this very same problem (amongst others) in 2.1.3, which is distributed with (a very) stock uucp. Call up sco and ask them for the "updated uucp fix". I don't have the exact name of it handy (its at work); if you need more info, drop me a line and i will dig it up for you. derek -- Derek Terveer det@hawkmoon.MN.ORG w(612)681-6986 "A proper king is crowned" -- Thomas B.

I have a similar need. One site I want to connect to have their modems connected to an Encore Annex terminal server, from which I have to use 'rlogin host' to open an 8-bit transparent connection to the machine. I also have to send a few other strings first to disable xon/xoff flow control. And like Mr. Hammond, I have found no way to do this with SCO Xenix/286 2.2.1 UUCP.
