Whoever can help,

I've been working on getting two next to talk via uucp.  I've made a entry  
in the L.sys file to communicate to the remote next.  I've also added an  
entry for L-devices for a direct link.  I've tested my connection using  
tip to ensure it wasn't a cable problem (I was able to login without a  
problem).  I've also run "uucico -r1 -x9 -sremote" and I'm able to get  
onto the machine.  It logs in, sits at the prompt and eventually times  
out.  So it seems that uucp is working somewhat.  My problem occurs when I  
try to send mail.  The mail gets queued up because the "uux" command is  
used with a -r option.  My understanding (limited), when uucico runs it  
will look in the spool directory and initiate the transfers.  (right or  
wrong).  Well this never happens.  It just logs in and thats it folks.  I  
never get anything telling me whether it worked or didn't work.  Also uux  
commands doesn't work.  It appears like it executed, but the command just  
gets queued.  There are entries in the D. and C. directories telling me  
what I was trying to do.  The log files tell me the job has been queued.   
I'm lost.  Does some process need to run on the remote system for this to  
work?  What?  When I try uucp to copy a file to the remote system I get a  
bus error? Has anyone else experience this? Help!!!!  If possible, leave a  
number so I can call.  Thanks!




							Thanks
