Message-ID: <674@spock.UUCP> Date: 29 Jun 89 06:00:48 GMT Sender: news@spock.UUCP Distribution: na Lines: 48 Hello netlanders. I hope someone's able to help me. I've been having a problem with my UNIXPC's uucp ever since I got the machine last September. I have made many attempts at establishing a usable link to several systems, including The Store, all without success. My system's uucp has not made one single transfer. I called AT&T about my problem a while back, but they were not at all helpful. Is there something unusual about the stock uucp supplied with 3.51 that I should know? Or am I just setting up the L.sys entries incorrectly (I'm not using the admin-kit)? Here are the lines I tried to use for The Store and osu-cis: shop Any ph0 1200 12019574646 "" BREAK "" BREAK "" BREAK "" BREAK "" BREAK "" BREAK "" ogin:--ogin: shop osu-cis Any ph0 1200 16142923112 "" \r\c Name? osu-cis nected \c GO \r\d\r\d\r\d ogin:--ogin:--ogin: Uanon I get entries in my LOGFILE like these: osu-ci!twong (6/29-0:42:23) (U,304,0) QUE'D (C.osu-cinA0040) osu-ci!uucp (6/29-0:42:58) (C,306,0) OK (DIAL ph0 P16142923112 30) After the OK DIAL, there is no further communication with the system I'm trying to contact. I usually lose the line or get timed out and the modem hangs up. I have not had a single successful login. I'm using the 1200 baud on-board modem. Are the L.sys entries my problem (If so, how does one create a correct entry, especially for the two systems mentioned above)? Or is there a bug in the software? I would appreciate all help anyone can give me, as I do not have a great deal of experience in system managing -- this is my first UNIX machine. The UNIX PC is so different from the VAX we have at CRH. Please send replies to: yale!spock!twong HELP! Thanks. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ | Terry Wong "Be yourself, no matter what | | Class of 1989 they say" | | Choate Rosemary Hall | | --Sting | | yale!spock!twong | +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
