I have to connect with UUCP two systems. One is a 286 running
IBM XENIX, witch have some UUCP link with other systems, like VAXs under
BSD 4.3 and some *UNIX* systems.
The second machine is a Motorola under a native System V.3 release 4.
With this package, UUCP is the famous HDB UUCP. I have a little documentation
to configure this UUCP, but, when XENIX call the Motorola, all is ok, but
nothing done after the "shere= ..." message.
I don't know where is the bug, in the HDB configuration or in my physical
link (XENIX tty driver is not so good).
I'm sure about the electrical connexion (I can use it with kermit).
Did anyone make this link (XENIX <-> SystemV.3) ?
Thank's
Eric

Sending a piece of mail "solves" the problem. This has occurred between the 6000 and systems that I know to be running HDB and those that I suspect to be running HDB. It appears only when the 6000 is polling the HDB system, and not vice versa.

I could only transfer stuff if the HDB system initiated the transfer. When you call in to a HDB system, the stuff in the Permissions file is checked a lot more thoroughly than when you call out. (Like, I don't know if it's checked at all when a HDB system calls out.) The system you call should have a setup something like this for your system in it's Permissions file. If you don't, then you'll have trouble talking unless they call you.
