I can't seem to get the cu command to work. The Phone Manager works great to log in to another system, but cu always fails. I ran it with the -d option to see what was happening... I typed: cu -d [number] I heard a dial tone through the speaker, and then the tones of the digits being dialed. Then, I heard the line ring, and the call pick-up click. Then, I heard the beep of the other computer, and about a half second later, was disconnected. The messages displayed were as follows: Call mode(1) Connected transmit started receive started got read error, not EINTR call rcvdead(4) call bye(16) disconnected call hangup(4) call mode(0) Then the line hangs, and I have to unplug the phone from the wall to be able to dial out again from the computer. These are the stats of the system I have: 20 MEG HD 1 MEG memory 3.5 system with Developmental Set. Phone Manager Hooked up only for data into line 1. No telephone connected. What I can't figure out is why the Phone Manager works fine, but cu doesn't. Any ideas on what the problem might be would be greatly appreciated. Paul D.

To David Sueme: Sorry I can't reply to you directly, but for some reason, whenever I try to send mail directly to someone using "r" in readnews, it fails.. but that's a problem for another day. Any scripts you have that work for you would be helpful.
