We do not want to dial him, just accept incoming connections and do the transfers. I have an entry in /etc/uucp/L.sys which reads cust-mach-name Polled I have a user defined for customer with /usr/libexec/uucico shell and /var/spool/uucppublic as home. They are in uucp group. There is a bidir.9600 getty running on modem port. When customer connects, connection just times out and drops. Two error messages i get in /var/log/uucp/uucico/uucico are: cobauucp uucico (08/06-10:39-10190) CAUGHT SIGNAL 1 FAILED cobauucp uucico (08/06-10:39-10190) FAILED (conversation complete 0 sent 0 received 0 bps) cobauucp uucico (08/06-10:58-10335) TIMEOUT FAILED (null) cobauucp uucico (08/06-10:58-10335) startup failure Both connections were identical, but gave different messages. ? Running out of things to try, can anybody please help. Regards, Craig Stratton.
