With regard to plain vanilla SCO Xenix 2.2 UUCP:

Is there any way to specify in the L.sys file, that control characters other
than Break and EOT be transmitted during a login sequence ?

A site which I would like to connect with uses a communications front-end
which requires a sequence including several Returns and Ctrl-D's to identify
which machine is to be connected with. Once passed this, the Unix login takes
over and all is as it should be.

The Xenix manuals specify 3 special keywords, `@', BREAK and PAUSEn which
send an EOT, Break and pause n seconds.  The Ctrl-D's are probably no problem,
I should be able to insert `@' to indicate Ctrl-D in the sequence. However, I
can not find any reference to sending Returns, or any other control characters.

I have tried \r and \15 which appear to transmit slash-r and slash-1-5
respectively.  I have also tried `^M' which doesn't seem to send a thing.

Any help would be much appreciated.
