[net.bugs.uucp] How can I do different dialcodes for different devices?

ptw@encore.UUCP (P. Tucker Withington) (02/22/85)

What if I have an outgoing line which I normally use for my uucp traffic that
requires a 9 and incoming lines that I can optionally use for uucp traffic that
don't want a 9?  (Why do I have this?  The outgoing line goes through the PABX
to get least-cost routing, the incoming lines do not since our operator does
not know how to answer a modem.)

Also, I would like to avoid using the incoming lines for long distance, but not
give up on a local call just because the normal outbound is tied up.

Am I asking too much from uucp?  Or, has anyone else hacked this type of feature
into it?

this is easily accomplished with honey danber's table driven conn()
(due to dale dejager).  e.g., in Systems, you would have the usual

	princeton Any ACU 1200 etc.

in Devices, you would have

	ACU cul0 - Any hayes \T
	ACU cul1 - Any hayes 9\T

assuming a hayes.  (the Dialers entry for hayes, or whatever isn't
relevant, so i won't show it.)  \T is the code for "phone number from
Systems, after Dialcodes translation."

shared in/out tty lines are supported for system v, but not for v7
derivatives or 4.2bsd.  (ber and i never needed it so no one did the
work.  besides, it's easy in system v, harder in v7.)  however, bill
sebok is working on it for 4.2.

I've used a version of Bill's code under v7 ok in the UK-UUCP  and could
probably dig out the necessary bits if any one wants them.  I've also
got an upgrade to the program (also from bill) for 4.2 that should also run at
most places.  I've not got a version for s5 and would appreciate knowing
how to do it.
