I am trying to set up my workstation (Scorpion, a Honeywell
68000-based system running Uniplus+ System III) to run UUCP. My
problem is that my autodialer is a Rixon R212A "intelligent"
modem. I figured that I would just specify it as a DIR line in
L.sys, and include the dialogue with the modem as part of the
login dialogue. However, the problem is that the dialogue
description in L.sys is built around waiting for a particular
string from the other end before sending a response, while the
Rixon requires two CRs to get its attention in the first place.
If someone has successfully used a Rixon modem for UUCP dialout,
could you please send me mail. Thanks,
Barry Margolin

A number of people have told me about using "" in the L.sys conversation
to mean automatically succeed. Thanks.
Another problem that I ran into was with newlines. Uucico follows each
"send" string in the L.sys entry with a Unix newline, i.e. a linefeed.
Unfortunately, the Rixon ignores linefeeds, so they don't have the
desired effect of causing the Rixon to execute the command. I solved
this problem by making use of the Rixon's ability to store numbers to
dial; the command to dial a stored number doesn't have to be followed
with a CR, and the LF that Unix sends just gets ignored.
Anyone know of a version of uucico for System III (Uniplus+ in
particular) that uses a more robust and powerful L.sys format. It took
me an hour to figure out why I was losing!
