I followed the 'UUCP over Streams' thread for a while and....

I have a basterdised SysV/BSD4.2 Olivetti LSX computer (pretending to
be something like a Rel 4.0 Unix :-).  I have compiled in the TCP-IP
protocoles to UUCP and have a version of 'uucico' that produces the
following trace (with -x9)...

I am trying to 'uucp' from the 'LSX' to an Olivetti XP5 (386 machine)
which is running 'SCO Xenix' - loaded with '3.1 Lachman Sys V Streams
TCP - Release 2.0'

conn(xp5)
ProtoStr = e
Device Type TCP wanted
Internal caller type TCP
tcpdial host xp5, port 5
family: 2
port: 5
addr: c8010105
connect failed: Connection refused
-and repeat once more-

The 'Systems' entry is...
xp5 Any TCP,e Any xp5 in:--in: nuucp

The Devices entry is...
TCP      TCP   64 uucp TCP

The Dialer is obviously built-in...

Can someone explain the 'port 5', 'family' and 'addr' significance?
I'm still at the early stages of TCP-IP comms (just as osi/iso is
thrown at me :-)

Why 'connection refused'?  What else do I need to do to get this to
work even one-way?  I'd have thought the obvious thing to do would be
to get my uucico to run a 'rlogin' or 'telnet' server on the other
side to issue a 'login:' prompt - so no fancy daemon on the SCO side
would be necessary.
