Hi All,
I want to hook "my" NeXT up to the Unix uucp (mail) network/internet (as
opposed to USENET == news). So far, it isn't working, but I've never set
up uucp before, so I'm not shocked.
Basically, uupoll starts up uucico, but the modem is never touched (in
other words, I don't hear anything on the modem's speaker). The typical
LOGFILE error message is "FAILED (HSM no carrier)". Essentially no info
is generated at any debugging level. I'm using some variety of Mac serial
cable ("From Mac Plus/SE/II to Hayes Compatible" - presumably a Mac port A
cable) on port A, which probably doesn't have the carrier detect line, but
tip doesn't mind and I only need outgoing uucp (wouldn't MIND incoming,
though). If this is the problem, what name/description can I use to get
the correct cable from a know-little salescritter (e.g. Businessland)?
Excerpts from (my changes to) the relevant files appear below. I've also
included a bit of /etc/remote, which works fine for tip (except it doesn't
do the hayes disconnect sequence).
This may be quite obvious to some of you, and I would very much appreciate
any pointers/coaching you can provide (e-mail, or phone (after noon, pst)).
Thanks!
-David
