I am trying to get the following dialout uucp configuration to work:
A Trailblazer Plus modem (ROM version BA5.0) connected to
a DECserver 200/MC terminal server (running LAT) which is
in turn connected to a DECsystem 5400 running Ultrix 4.0.
I can send a sync string (AT\rATM2\r) and the dial command
(ATDT9phone-number\r) to the modem and the modem receives
the commands - I can hear the modem begin dialing. However
as soon as the the dial string is sent from the DECsystem
5400, it looks for the carrier immediately - and ALWAYS
senses it, even though the modem has not finished dialing.
The DECserver and port are setup as:
DECserver 200 Terminal Server V3.0 (BL33) - LAT V5.1

The entry in /etc/acucap for the Trailblazer is:
#
# Telebit Trailblazer Plus (upto 19200)
# registers set: S51=254, S52=2, S53=3, S54=4, S58=2
# Also NOTE that if a dhu (or equivalent) is used the variable
# "dhudsr" should be set to 0 in the kernel.

I have tried this entry both with and without the cr (wait for carrier
to be sensed) logical flag in the acucap entry and the behavior was
exactly the same in both cases - carrier was detected by uucico instantly
after the dial string was sent.
The Trailblazer+ has been set to the factory defaults and (as you can
see in the /etc/acucap entry above) the registers S50=0, S51=254, S52=2,
S53=3, S54=4, and S58=2 are being set.
I would also like to add that this modem has functioned
flawlessly connected to an i386 system running SCO Xenix
for the past 1.5 years.
Does anyone know of anything that might make this configuration work?
(I would even settle for a "you must be goofy to even attempt it"
response).
Please respond by email & I will post a summary if there is enough interest.
Thank you for your help.

Have you not been reading this newsgroup recently? You can't do UUCP out of a LAT port because for some reason LAT ports were designed without modem signals on the Ultrix side. If you can open the port to get to the modem, that's all the info you're going to get about the connection. UUCP depends on modem signals to detect carrier; the only reason UUCP gets as far as it does is because the Ultrix programmer who modified it didn't check the return calls from the ioctl()s he added that set modem control and wait for carrier. Those ioctl() calls fail, and UUCP silently barges on to send UUCP data into an uncomprehending Telebit. You're hosed. I'm hosed too. I moved my Telebit to a MVII serial card. It works fine there. If I get ambitious, I may pull out the TK70 tape drive and put the serial card in my own 5400. Oh heavy sigh. -- -IAN! (Ian! D.

Many people appear to be having problems getting this to run, but it is possible. We have a DECsystem 3100 running Ultrix 4.0 and a DECserver 200. I also got uucp to work fine under Ultrix 3.1D. If you want the details on how to get this to work, just let me know. --- Michael R.
