For Taylor cu (now the default), the simplest way is cu -s 19200 -l /dev/cuaa1 (you must be a member of group `dialer' for this). This will connect you directly to your modem. For a more advanced configuration, e.g. use this as /etc/uucp/port: type modem port cuaa1 device /dev/cuaa1 dialer hayes speed 19200 install /etc/uucp/dial.sample as /etc/uucp/dial, and you should be able to do cu -p cuaa1 <telno> If you now start to setup an /etc/uucp/sys, you can refer to the external systems by system name instead of typing phone numbers. For more information, type `info uucp'. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
