[att.sys.unixpc] 6386 - can't call other machines

reo@ihlpl.ATT.COM (Obrien) (07/15/88)

I am running 386 Unix System V Release 3.1 with Simultask 386 on my 6386.
I can remotely log into my 6386; however, I can not "cu" or "uucp" out.
(I have uugetty running.)   Below are my system communications files,
and the response I get when I try to cu out.  

My Systems, Devices, and Dialers:

Systems:
--------
mvuxn Any;5 DK,g 9600 uxn "" \d\r\c in:--in: nuucp word: PASSWORD
		(the system password went where PASSWORD is listed)

Devices:
--------
DK tty00,M - Any twoway - datakit \D
Direct tty00,M - Any twoway - datakit \D
DK DK 0 Any DK \D

Dialers:
--------
direct
twoway ""	"" \M\d\r\d\r\d\m
datakit ""	""\M\r\d\r\d\r TION:--TION: \m\D "" \d\d\r

	I set up the system by going thru the adm/peripherals setup
menu and went thru the serial port setup and set the device type to    
computer.   When I then try to call up another machine, I received the 
following message:

	

CLOCAL clear
gdial(datkit) called 
expect: (""\M^M\d^M\d^M)
^M^J^M^JDESTINATION:

I am not able to enter anything at this point; in my systems file there is
a line that should connect directly to the other machine, but this does not 
happen.  HELP!  What am I doing wrong!  Thanks in advance.

You will note that your sustem is waiting for the string ""\M^M\d^M\d^M
instead of waiting for nothing ( via a "" ) and then sending the rest of
it.

I have noticed that several of the "sysadm" type setups on the
AT&T product line are ocassionally wrong in what they do to the
Dialers file.  (my 3.1 stuff scrags the 2212 entry every time.)

going in and adding the space should make the whole thing go ok.
