Make sure to set the port to hardware flow control. This is best done from /etc/rc.serial. Run the command info uucp to learn about the Taylor UUCP configuration. Unless you are really familiar with some older UUCP configuration method (like HDB), i would strongly recommend using the Taylor UUCP one. It is way more rationale. (Taylor UUCP does also understand the older ones, if i'm not mistaken, it guesses the type of configuration by the names of existing files like ``config'' -> Taylor, ``Systems'' -> HDB, ``L.sys'' -> V7 config.) UUCP config files go under /etc/uucp/. There are already some sample files around. Make sure to use the ``callout'' devices. For what DOS calls COM2:, this is /dev/cuaa1. (However, the getty should run on the callin device, /dev/ttyd1.) -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j
