[comp.unix.i386] DIRECT SERIAL CONNECTION: ISC 2.0.2

dam@auc.UUCP (Daniel Morris) (01/08/90)

I've recently acquired ISC 386/ix 2.0.2 Unix Sys V and have been playing with
it for the last week or so. I'm having a problem establishing a direct
async connection between my 386's serial port and an async port on an
AT&T 3B15. 

At present, I can "cu" and "uucp" files from the 3B15 to the 386
machine with no problem. My problem occurs when I attempt to "cu" from
my 386 machine to the 3B15. A connection is established, however I'm
getting "login:" prompts all over the 386 console and the link
is eventually disconnected. The lines on both systems are setup in
/etc/inittab, "respawning" /usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -r -t 60. I thought
the key might be in the /etc/gettydefs file but I've yet to have any
luck.

I've established similar connections between the 3B15 and 2 3B2's as
well as between the 3B15 and a Sun Workstation with no problem. Is
there anyone out there who's experienced a similar problem who can
point me in the right direction?? All responses are appreciated.

If you are running with the X5 upgrade you don't need to use uugetty
(at least I'm not and I haven't had any problems).
