The idea is to set up the L-devices entry for a direct line, rather than an ACU, and then use the L.sys file to define a dialogue which dials. Example: system Any cul0 1200 cul0 "" ^M $-^M-$ k^M call:-k^M-call: 0000000^M line!^G-r^M-line!^G-r^M-line!^G-r^M-line!^G ^M ogin:-^M-ogin: uucp ssword: xxxxxx What happens: uucp sends uucp expects ""(nothing) ^M(carriage return) $(dialer prompt) k^M call:(end of "Number to call:") 00000000^M(phone number) line!^G(end of "Carrier detected...On-line!^G") ^M ogin:(login: prompt from UNIX) uucp ssword:(Password: prmpt from UNIX) xxxxxx(password) There is also some provision for retries. This should work with the Hayes if the dialogue above is altered a bit. Note some versions of uucp allow escaped characters in the L.sys entry - \r for CR, \d for a delay, etc. Mine didn't, so I had to embed control characters in the file. Something like this ought to bring up uucp for you in a hurry. John Montgomery ihnp4!houxd!johnm
