UUCP and CU problems

UUCP and CU problems

Post by David Norto » Sat, 17 Oct 1998 04:00:00



Hi,

Please help me if you can.

I am running Red Hat 5.1, and I am trying to call another SCO unix server using cu and uucp. If I type "cu -l /dev/cua1", I get connected to the modem, abd the I type ATDT{phone Number}, and I get connected - -Works fine.

But, if I type "cu {system name}", the modem dials, I get connected,
I can read the login screen, but I cannot type anything.

I have changed the permissions to a+rw on /dev/cua1 and /dev/ttyS1.

Am I missing something in the Systems or Dialers file?

Please help if you can.

1. V4.3.2 UUCP (cu) Problem

Greetings.

I just did a migration upgrade of a few systems from AIX V3.2.5 to V4.3.2,
and am having a problem with the cu command.  The format used is:

cu -l<tty> -s<baud-rate> <phone-number>

A specific example:

cu -ltty0 -s2400 5551212

This worked fine under V3.2.5, and would cause the modem connected to the port
to dial and establish a connection to a remote modem.  The same command in
V4.3.2 always returns:

cu: 0835-028 The connection failed. CALLER SCRIPT FAILED.

Using the same command with debugging turned on (-d) yields:

altconn called
Device Type ACU is wanted
ttylock tty0 succeeded
Attempting to open /dev/tty0
clear O_NDELAY
filelock: ok
fixline(8, gdial(hayes) called
expect: ("")
got it
Sendthem (DELAY
A)
expect: (OK)
timed out
set interface UNIX
ttylock ttyx1 succeeded
Attempting to open /dev/ttyx1
generic open failed, errno = 2
set interface UNIX
ttylock tty0 succeeded
Attempting to open /dev/tty0
clear O_NDELAY
filelock: ok
fixline(8, gdial(hayes) called
expect: ("")
got it
Sendthem (DELAY
A)
expect: (OK)
timed out
set interface UNIX
getto ret -1
cu: 0835-028 The connection failed. CALLER SCRIPT FAILED.
call cleanup(1)
call _mode(0)

The "A)" line sometimes appears as "?)" or "???)".  I never see anything I
recognize from the Dialers file.  I hooked up a serial data analyzer between
the port and the modem, and see no data transfered whatsoever.  The symptom
persists with my setup files (/etc/uucp/*) from V3.2.5 (which work fine under
V3.2.5), and fresh files from the V4.3.2 CDROM.  The command:

cu -m -l<tty> -s<baud-rate>

works fine, and I am able to send commands to the modem and get a response.
Anybody else out there seen this?  Any hints would be appreciated.

Jeff.
