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

guest,*,2,2,(Guest_login),Trinity:,*s:bbs_startup

would be my first guess.

What version of getty?

Your using Getty to answer and pass control around right?  GPFax doesn't
have its hand on the serial device at this time.
