This poor guy (my friend, see :-) is trying to set up a uucp connection. He is talking to an AT&T System V version of unix with HoneyDanBer. He logs on fine, gets the ^PShere=osu-cis message, send back Sknl .. and the poor uucico program on osu-cis send RLOGIN. His poor uucp program wanted ROK. Obviously, this is a poor man's uucp... What' he's looking for is a description of the possible responses that uucp is sending and expecting. does the RLOGIN response equate to the ROK response, or is it expecting somethign else? Thank you, and I probably didn't ask this question the right way. Please respond by mail, unless interest warrants posting to the news group. Major@eleazar.dartmouth.edu major@eleazar.dartcms1.bitnet
