I am trying to use a HAYES smartmodem 1200 to form a link to the uucp network. I know my uucp works - even though this is only a binary site (no, not utzoo, this is just an account I am using since I cannot get either of my machines to talk to utzoo !) because I can get my machines to talk to each other over the hardwired link between them. The smartmodem seems to smart. Yes, I understand the manuals and can get it to work OK of the second port on my terminal (which is what I am using to type this..). Getting uucp to use it is another matter. Henry Spencer of utzoo!henry fame suggested telling uucp that it actually a hardwired line with a very long and involved login sequence. He uses this on some of his modems. Fine. I will try it. Perhaps in the mean time someone can suggest something else. Many thanks in advance. A. Azia.
