Re: call Id #153007

I'm not very familiar with UUCP (I used to be proud of that :-),
so I may be making some obvoius error, but here goes...

I'm using a SupraFax v42.bis modem on port2 (connected by a cable
bought from SGI).

% uname -a
IRIX [deleted] 4.0.5 06151813 IP12

I can dial out using cu -- like this:

    % cu -l /dev/tty[fmd]2 -s 38400 <phone-number>

The problem comes when I try to verify that uucp works by running Uutry.
The first time I ran it this morning, it got to the point at which it
starts the chat dialog.  But since there was a problem with the Dialers
entry, that didn't work and I interrupted it.

All subsequent times I've tried it today I get this output:

> # ./Uutry -x9 uunoname
> ./uucico -r1 -suunoname  -x9 >/tmp/uunoname 2>&1&

After the first failed try I reinitialized the modem to make sure
it's state was the same as for the initial successful connection.
But it still failed.

It looked like the state of something had changed since the first Uutry
run -- and maybe that something is what's causing the `time out'.
So I deleted all uucp lock files and ran `fuser /dev/tty[fdm]' to see
if some other process had one of those devices open -- but none did.
Uutry still fails.

----------------------
More background; some uucp configuration files

/usr/lib/uucp/Systems:
uunoname Any ACU 9600 9999999 "" ... [chat script deleted]

/usr/lib/uucp/Devices:
ACU ttyf2 - Any suprafax

/usr/lib/uucp/Dialers:
suprafax        =,-,    "" \dAT&F2\r\c OK ATDT\T\r\c CONNECT-\c-Connect
----------------------

If anyone can give me a lead I'd appreciate it.
