- This file describes a method which can be used to allow two Macintosh
- systems running uupc 3.1 to communicate via an AppleTalk network, using
- the AppleTalk ADSP Tool.
-
- As an example of the necessary setup: let's assume two machines "rick"
- and "ilsa". ilsa will initiate the call; rick will wait in slave mode
- for the call to arrive.
-
- On rick - create a new CTB configuration. Select the ADSP Tool. Enter
- "uucp" for the connection type, "rick" for the local name, and leave the
- "Name" field unspecified (as "Remote user" or as "ilsa" or as anything
- else - I don't believe it matters.) Save this configuration, naming it
- "bogart".
-
- In the Systems file on rick, enter:
-
- ilsa Never
- INCOMING Any CTB/bogart DIR - @ g7/256
-
- Set the PASSWORD string on rick to be "victor".
-
- On ilsa - create a new CTB configuration. Select the ADSP Tool. Enter
- "uucp" for the connection type, "ilsa" for the local name, and "rick" in
- the Name field. Save this configuration, naming it "bacall".
-
- In the Systems file on ilsa, enter:
-
- rick Any CTB/bacall DIR - - g7/256 name: ilsa word: victor
-
- On rick, enter slave mode.
- On ilsa, call rick.
-
- You should see the connection open within about five seconds (this
- includes the login process) and the two machines should shake hands,
- decide that neither has anything to say to the other, and disconnect.
- You may see a "CMWrite error" on one or the other during the
- disconnection process; it can be ignored.
-
- The special tricks involved with lines in the Systems file which invoke
- CTB connections are:
-
- - The "phone" field can contain a "@" character as in the rick/bogart
- configuration above. This is normally done only on the INCOMING
- line... it means that instead of opening an outbound connection, uupc
- should listen for an inbound connection.
-
- - The "speed" field can contain one of the strings -sync, -async, or
- -background. -background is the default, and gives the best
- throughput, but may not work with some connection tools that cannot
- handle CMWrite commands from the interrupt level. -async allows
- asynchronous I/O to occur, but all writes will be done from the
- application foreground level (thus reducing throughput somewhat).
- -sync completely disables all asynchronous CTB operations; it's
- necessary only with the TGE TCP Tool as far as I know.
