So I thought: I'll set up a line that let's folks either send a fax or 
dial up a private bbs...UUCP, faxgetty, GPFax and Trinity 2.0 (I'm an 
animator and video editor, *not* a programmer, but I wade through the 
manuals and try to get things working on my own.

Anyway: the fax is automatically detected and works.  The data caller 
gets sent a bunch of garble and the logfile says "(date-time) Getty,-, 
Set Params Error 1 "

The Trinity manual says that the way to get a node to work with UUCP is 
to run TrinityBBS -sSerial.device -u0 -b<baud rate>. -s = serial device 
used -u = unit number -b = baud rate.

My getty password entry is "guest,*,2,2,(Guest_login),Trinity:,s:bbs_startup

Any thoughts as to what bonehead move I've made, or how one gets this 
happening?  My un-educated opinion is that, although, Trinity is 
*supposed* to have an ARexx port name, it doesn't show up (I have all the 
required libs), so I can't send the proper baud rate result to it.

Thanks gazillions.

Jeff
