[net.micro] 6300+ and System 85 and uucp

lou@mtfmt.UUCP (L.MILLER) (08/08/86)

Has anyone ever got uucp on the 6300+ to work while going over
System 85?  I've connected the pc's serial port to the DTDM on
my System 85 desk phone  and am trying to call into ports on my
department's VAX that also has System 85 lines connected to it.

First question:  Do I have to modify the cables between the pc
and the DTDM?  I've heard rumors about breaking pin 8 and tying
pins 8 and 20 together on the pc side.  This seems to make things
work better but....

Second question:  What speed can uucp on the pc run at?  The manual
says 4800, the hotline folks claim 9600.  Which is correct?

Third (and last) question:  The VAX's ports are set to 9600;  will
just sending breaks cause them to shift speed?

Any suggestions for getting uucp and pc6300+ and System 85 to work together
would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
