writes about problems direct-connecting an Amiga running Matt's UUCP 1.06D
with a UNIX box.

True.  The Amiga UUCP package assumes a modem connection ONLY.  The trick I
used at the FAUG demo I gave earlier this year was to connect the Amiga via
RS-232 to a StarLAN terminal server box which more-or-less resembles a modem,
patch the Amiga's uucico to send two CR's (for autobaud on the StarLAN box)
instead of "ATDT", and change /etc/issue on the UNIX box to have "CONNECT"
as its first line ... these kludges faked-out AmigaUUCP so that it thought
it was talking to a modem.  Sheesh.

The other solutions are to either rewrite the dial stuff in AmigaUUCP or
to run standard UUCP on Amiga UNIX.
