cu will call another unix system or dumb terminal using the following script.


#########################################################################
#! /bin/sh
#@ident Call.script 4/89

OUTCALL=/dev/ttyXXX
FIL=a file containing cu commands
#########################################################################
# Attempt to call remote terminal/system and spawn a getty.
#########################################################################

[ $# = 0 ] && echo "NO DESTINATION GIVEN" && exit

rm /usr/spool/locks/LCK..${OUTCALL}
sleep 3
chmod +rw ${OUTCALL}
TIME=`date`
sleep 10
 case $1 in
	name1) if cu -s2400 -d -t PHONENUMBER<$FIL 1>/CALLOUT 2>/CALLOUT
		then :
		else cu -s2400 -d -t PHONENUMBER<$FIL 1>/CALLOUT 2>/CALLOUT
	      fi ;;	
	*) echo "Calling $1"
	      if cu -d -s2400 -t $1
		then :
	 	else cu -d -s2400 -t $1
	      fi ;;

1) Set up file containing the following:

~!/etc/getty /dev/ttyXXX 2400 &
~!date

Define that file as variable FIL in call script.

2) Set tty using uugetty in inittab. 

3) Call into modem and logon.
   Issue command "nohup /bin/call XXXXX &
   Logoff and disconnect.
   Systems calls in 1 minute.

4) Of course your uucp lib files must contain proper info..Devices etc..
