Why not trick UUCP instead of ''teaching'' it? If you are talking about a annex on a Multimax, then you can have UUCP access a device in /dev that speaks to an annex port that is connected serially to some other computer. All you need to do is create a remote_node and config the annex port for server (instead of client) mode... Then setup UUCP/{Systems,L.sys} to use the new device in /dev; something like: $ /etc/na set annex=annex_name port=port_number mode=serv $ mkrnod /dev/rty001 18 21 arp.address 3 port_number $ chown uucp /dev/rty001 $ vi L.sys anysys Any DIR 9600 rty001 "" "" in:--in: ... Read the man page on mkrnod(1M); it'll solve your problem. (You'll also need to ''config'' the annex port with the same parameters in my previous article.) Ps: I'm not an Encore Rep -- but I love the Multimax. Pps: Actually, Execelan has a similar method via the ud(EXOS) utility to work the other way. (Ie: it make's UUCP talk via rlogin(1) if uucp doesn't know what a TCP device is.). -- "Need input. Joe Angelo, Sr. Sys. Engineer @ Austec, Inc., San Jose, CA. More input.
