TCP/IP based uucp will connect from a remote machine to the local machine fine with no errors, however when we connect from a remote machine via a modem, the login id and passwd are accepted fine, and the getty/uucico just dies halfway through the standard welcome banner. You know "Last Login.... etc etc" and the modem just returns NO CARRIER. Normal login-in's function fine, successfully running getty to a bash or csh prompt, and working fine from then on. I believe the problem lies in the configuration of uucico, but I cannot think why it would work TCP/IP but not over the modem. Any hints/tips/suggestions gratefully recieved. Many thanks Neil
