I have now gotten my modem to stop flashing its lights and work properly with AUX 1.1, and can use it with tip, etc. Millions of thanks are sent to Tim Endres for his assistence with this!! Now I am trying to be able to poll another site for mail. Is it possible to use uucico to call out on AUX 1.1 or AUX 1.1.1? For some reason we can't get it to open the device correctly. Is there some magic which must be placed in L-devices or L.sys to get this to happen? We even went so far as to try to get the device to open with a simple 'C program (shown below). This program HANGS!! it also hangs if we use "r+" instead of "w+". The device and the /dev directory have permissions 777. (We tried other combinations as well) Owner is currently daemon, group daemon. We have tried various other things here as well. Please help. What are the magic incantations which we must perform?? If you answer by mail, don't put .com after the site cspi. It will just bounce about. thanks a million, cathy segedy uunet!tci!cspi!segedy decvax!cspi!segedy apollo!cspi!segedy #include main() { FILE *fp; fp = fopen("/dev/tty0","w+"); perror("fopen: "); exit(0); } -- decvax!cspi!segedy | C++ hackers have more class apollo!cspi!segedy | uunet!tci!cspi!segedy |
