- I am having problems getting a Sun Sparc 1 I've inherited at work to talk
- to a system I have at home.
-
- The problem is that (running uucico manually with -x9) the modem dials
- properly and my chat script seems to work properly (up to and including
- sending the password), however after that the last thing that uucico
- prints is 'imsg>' and then it just sits there until the system I am calling
- times out, hangs up the line, and I see a few garbage characters and a
- DISCONNECTED message from the modem.
-
- Unfortunatly, I do not see any of the usual :
-
- Shere=remote_site
- Slocal-site -Qn -Xn
- ROK
- Pg
- Ug
- etc...
-
- so I am not sure where communication is breaking down.
-
-
- The master is a Sun Sparc 1 running Sun OS 4.1.1, and is calling a Coherent
- system running 4.0. The modem on the Sparc is a Telebit Trailblazer.
-
- Unfortunatly, I don't have much in the way of documentation. Also, the system
- I got did NOT have uucp on it, so I pulled uucp from a 4.1 tape (yes, I
- said that the OS is 4.1.1) so I am not sure if that causes any problems.
-
- The Coherent system does not even see the Sparc login (zero bytes in the
- uucico log file), so the connection is obviously not being established.
- On the other hand, I am not sure what the Sparc is waiting for (what does
- imsg> mean ?). Also, the login that I am using into the Coherent system is
- used by other systems, so I don't believe there is a fundamental flaw in
- the setup of the Coherent side.
-
- Although I realize that I am not giving much in the way of details, I believe
- that contents of my Systems, Permissions, etc., file are correct, but more
- importantly the system is being dialed, it's just that there is no protocol
- negotiation going on.
-
- BTW - the Sparc .Log/uucico files for the system I am calling simply state that
- the 'dial' is successful, and that the 'login' is not.
-
- I am looking for any clues as to what to look for, since at this point I
- am really not sure where to go.
-
- Thanks,
-
- Dave.
