I am having trouble establishing a UUCP link from a VAX 11/750 to
a 386 box running SCO Xenix 2.3.2--NOTE: from VAX to Xenix box.
No matter what communications speed I use, no matter what modem
I use (from a simple Hayes-compatible 1200 baud to a Telebit),
I can never get past the login prompt from the Xenix box.
I believe this may be some sort of parity-related problem. The
Xenix machine doesn't ever see any input from the VAX. Although
I can't find anything in the BSD manuals (and don't have source),
I seem to recall there's a way to specify other-then-default parity
in the BSD L.sys file. Also, what suggested changes to the
Xenix box's /etc/gettydefs might address this?
(I have, by the way, the stuff from Telebit on setting up S registers,
etc., the SCO update for Telebit modems, and have received a number of
different versions of a dial program for the Telebit. And, I have
exhaustingly tried manipulation of the VAX's Telebit S registers to
match what's prescibed for the Xenix machine.)
HELP?!? Thank you.
