Hello, I have a couple of problems that have come up since I have started running SLIP at home. I am connecting from my home machine (NeXTstation Color running 3.0) to a SLIP capable terminal server using TransSys Dial-Up IP Software - version 920904 on my NeXT. Things like telnet, rlogin, finger, talk, etc. work just fine. First problem, when I log into another NeXT and try to -NXHost to my home machine I see the modem lights flash a few times and then get the message: DPS client library error: Could not form connection, host home for no apparent reason ( i have public windower server set). Second problem, I had a uucp link set up that worked just fine via a modem. Having SLIP, I decided to switch the uucp link to TCP. When I issue the command uucico -r1 -x9 -sacus1 I get the messages: finds (acus1) called getto: call no. acus1.cc.uky.edu for sys acus1 Using TCP to call bsdtcpopn host acus1.cc.uky.edu, port 540 TCP CLOSE called closed fd 5 tcpopen failed: errno 61 root acus1 (12/30-23:05-287) FAILED (Connection refused) root acus1 (12/30-23:05-287) FAILED (call to acus1 ) Noticing errno 61 I tried to telnet straight to port 540 and sure enough my connection was refused...I checked and I can telnet to port 540 on most other Unix machines but anytime I go to a NeXT the connection is refused. Any information on how to "fix" these two problems would be greatly appreciated.

You'll find that even if you do get this problem solved, its much too painful to run an application -NXHost'ed across a SLIP connection. This has been my experience. > Second >problem, I had a uucp link set up that worked just fine via a modem. >Having SLIP, I decided to switch the uucp link to TCP.

Look in /etc/inetd.conf, and uncomment the line: #uucp stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/uucpd uucpd and either restart or send a HUP signal to the /etc/inetd process. louie
