Hi there,

I'm having a problem using HDB uucp with a Telebits TB+.  Whats
happening is that connection is made fine, initial protocol exchanges
are done, file names to be sent are exchanged, directories are made,
... then while waiting for the first packet, uucp says 'alarm 1',
'alarm 2', etc. all the way to 'alarm 10', then quits.

I'm baffled. Since control data is exchanged, I assume that errors
aren't timing it out.  Also, this has happened every time - except
for once.  That time, the first file made it across, then it timed
out. Cu works fine, with ~%take/put as well.

Since the exchange works like a champ using 1200 baud (it's timing 
out at 2400baud), I assume that uucp is set up ok.  I'm using the
same setup for the Telebits as was posted awhile ago to comp.dcom.modems
for Microport SysV. I haven't had the opportunity yet to have tried
this using PEP mode.

CAbling to the modem is *not* done according to Telebits:
	
	Signal		Comp	Modem
	TxD		2	3
	Rxd		3	2
	RTS		4	5
	CTS		5	4
	DSR		6	20
	SG		7	7
	CD		8	8
	DTR		20	20

The reason that it's different, is that this is the hardware
manufacturers (Plexus P-60 w/ICP ports) recommendation for
modem cabling.  I'm not familiar enough with RS-232 requirements
to say if it's right or not.

Any help you can give would be appreciated!  Please e-mail to
ihnp4!csun!csusac!fenris instead of the above address.

Thanks in advance!
