TO ALL:

Could you possibly give me the exact steps involved in changing a stand-alone
non-communicating NeXT machine into one that calls another unix computer with
uucp?  I set up the L-devices file and L.sys, but obviously I did something
wrong, as it won't even attempt to make a phone call.  I'm using a USR Courier
HST (9600+ baud) modem, so if you have any specific information about that, I
would love to hear how to run it faster than 2400 baud (like changing some
thing somewhere to enable the X protocol instead of G protocol).  Basically,
if you could show the contents of the "special" files in /usr/lib/uucp and
list all specific steps, I'd really appreciate it.  I have established a
login account and password with my uucp neighbor and signed in manually with
tip (using "a9600" or "9600a", whichever it was), but can't get the NeXT
to do it.  A listing of relevant Cron entries would be nice, too!

If this turns out to be too much to post, you can email it to me and if I
should get multiple responses I'll pick the clearest one and post it, and
also send it to the NeXT archives as a doc file.

Thanks again for any help!
