One of the problems I have experienced with TB's and other modems is the echo function in the modem. When the modem answers the line, it emits a 'RING'. This can trigger the getty/uugetty. It also sets 'login' to an upper case only mode and sends "PLEASE LOGIN:" instead of "Please login:". On my TB, I have the echo function set to 'Q6'. This allows limited echoing from the modem which uucp can handle. On a Midcom (sp?), we had to set echoing off, 'Q1', and put a 'ATQ0' at the start of the chat script in order to get an 'OK' when starting up. As far as manuals is concerned, the Nutshell books are widely recommended. I have the one with a Bear on the cover. I feel that it is better when setting up various uucp sites than the one with an Ibex on the cover. Really can't say absolutely since I have not studied the version with the Ibex. BTW. I have written a program which provides a set of interactive screens for programming a TB and testing different termio(7) settings. It was written with 'curses' on a SYSV machine. As far as I know, it hasn't been tried on any other system. If anyone wants a copy, they can get it from the osu/3b1 archive or conntact me. -- Vernon C.
