Message-ID: <331@kurz-ai.UUCP> Date: 26 Jun 90 22:48:44 GMT Reply-To: mack@kurz-ai.UUCP (Ed Mackenty) Distribution: na Organization: Kurzweil A.I. Waltham, Mass. Lines: 31 References: I'm posting this for a friend since he (obviously) cannot connect to the net himself: ==================== I am having problems with setting up a bi-directional uucp link. I am using a 68000 based machine running AT&T Sys 5.3 with some Berkeley stuff. I put a uugetty on my port with a modem set up in a standard way. This works fine for dialing in. When cu or uucp tries to dial out it cannot open the /dev file since the carrier detect is not on. If I force CD on with a modem switch then uucp works, but uugetty and the AT echos have a fun time talking to each other. (login: echos, trying to login as "login:") It seems that I can only have one or the other. Has anybody else seen this problem? Is there a fix or a work-around? Please respond to mack@kurz-ai.com since I cannot get mail yet. Neil Swartz Applied Telematics, Inc. ==================== Some more info: his machine is a Counterpoint, and I can't help him because I solved this problem by putting two modems on different ports and running getty on only one of them. We must be missing something obvious here, since I imagine that many systems use one modem for both dial-in and dial-out operation. Isn't that what uugetty is for? - MacK. -- _ __ _ _ ___ _____ _ _ ___ _ _ ___ _ ------------------ | |/ /| | || . \|__ /| | | || __|| || | | . | | | Edmund R.
