I am trying to set up a new BSD4.3 UNIX system to handle UUCP, and am having
trouble knowing where all the config files are supposed to be because
the books I have on the subject appear to be for different versions
 of UNIX.  What exactly goes in the /etc/ttys line for the serial port
 I am using for a v.32 Hayes compatible modem, and what other files do I
 use?  How do I test the modem to see if it is operational, or for that matter send
 commands to it at all?  Suppose I want to hook up to a remote system using SLIP.
 What do I change in this configuration?
 Much obliged for any help; the manuals that came with this system are (like
 many UNIX manuals, very incomplete.  (The word MODEM appears only once in the
 index, and that not in the context I need.)
