[comp.unix.ultrix] UUCP line speed limitation

leonh@hhb.UUCP (leon howorth) (10/03/90)

I am running a VAX 11/785 with Ultrix 2.2 (I know, very old release
but I can't upgrade quite yet). I am trying to get uucp to work 
with a Telebit modem on a DMF32 port at 19200 baud. I can run a 
terminal on the port at 19200 but when I try to run uucp I get
a "BAD SPEED" message from uucico and it fails. Leads me to think
that the software does not support that speed, even though the
hardware is capable. Does anyone know of a patch I can apply to
run uucp at 19200 on the port ??   Here are some of the important
administrative entries:

/etc/ttys:	# Note: modem used for outgoing only

ttyd3 "/etc/getty std.19200" dialup off modem    # DMF port1

/etc/acucap:

#Telebit Trailblazer on DMF32 port - outgoing only

Ultrix uucp doesn't believe in 19200 baud you have to patch uucico.

Like so:

su ...
cp /usr/lib/uucp/uucico /usr/lib/uucp/uucico.original
adb -w /usr/lib/uucp/uucico
spds?W 0t19200 0t14
^d

(note that the above may be /var/uucp/uucico depending on which
ultrix release you are running...)

Depending on which interface you are using, and system / I/O loading
you may see a greater or lesser number of SILO overflow console
messages.  These can generally be ignored, unless you are using a
DH11 compatible interface, in which case your system will become
very, very crash prone...
