Recall that I have to send several 's to get the attention of the system after I get the connect message from the modem. Instead of sending \r\r\r (only one of the cr's evidently get sent I now send \r\c "" \r\c "" \r\c It looks like the above sends one cr and expects nothing sends another cr and expects nothing and sends one more cr. This seems to do the trick, the header comes flying by and I can then negociate into the nuucp login. UUCP seems to work OK I can uuto files to the machine without any problem. However mail does not seem to work! I have tried mail name!user and mailx name!user and rmail name!user After I exit the mail programs, nothing happens, no log files are created in the spool area, The phone never goes off hook etc. Seems like the letter drops into a black hole! If UUCP works why does mail not work? (I am using ksh) Any help will be appreciated!
