You must understand that I have never been exposed to this before!.
On the current system we run this command to get a login prompt on the remote system via dial-up,
cu -x9 natgnet
natgnet (server) is set in our /etc/uucp/oldconfig/Systems file
# cat Systems natgnet any ACU 38400 0134453212 ogin: \c\d "" uucp assword: ####
alternatively from the SCO-UNIX box we can do cu -x9 sitename
and it dials into the site giving a login prompt.
I figured if I could just get cu to work then uucico would also work.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx
Have you looked at using seyon at all. The configuration is much more straight forward and runs as a gui. Just an idea.
After installing the uucp package I see the docs are -very- sparse with -no- real world examples. Even default config files are not in place with -no- hint on what goes where.
Probably because it's not much used these days, use of uucp was very common in the early days of Linux. I last tried seyon several years ago and couldn't get it going, so I went for kermit and xminicom. I always used kermit for install/upgrade of Sun boxes where there was no network connection available, i just made up a say script which automated the connection commands, a colleague favoured xminicom and there is also gtkterm.
