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.).
