[comp.unix.xenix] SCO dial

chip@killer.UUCP (12/07/87)

I've been fighting SCO XENIX dial(3S)...and I'm starting to go nutso.
Any help would be appreciated.  The symptom is that invoking:

	dial(call);

gives the following message to stderr:

	/dev//usr/lib/uucp/dia: No such file or directory.

and returns A_PROB (acu problem).  The CALL parameters I've tried are:

	call.attr = &{my termio structure};
	call.baud = call.speed = 1200;
	call.line = {tried "tty1A", "/dev/tty1A", and NULL};
	call.telno = "{telephone number}";
	call.modem = 0;
	call.device = {tried both NULL and a large, static buffer};

The applicable portions of my L-devices look like:

	ACU	tty1A	/usr/lib/uucp/dialHA12		1200
	ACU	tty1A	/usr/lib/uucp/dialHA12		300

My uucp *does* work, including the ACU stuff.  But I'm pulling
my hair out trying to get dial() to work.  Help?!?  Thanks.
