1. RS6000 to RS6000 ppp or slip - won't dial with modem

    Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

    I am trying to setup an RS6000 AIX 4.2 to dial out to an already setup (
and working ) RS6000 with slip.  When I try to run "slipcall" it doesn't even
dial out.  I have the ACU tty1 setup in /etc/uucp/Devices File.  Looking at the
slipcall script it appears to me that slattach should be dialing out with the
modem - all I get is some errors saying
Device Type Direct wanted
Requested Device Type Not Found
See example run below.
    Anyone have a clue!!!

   Thanks Dave.

Example run:
