Re: Connection issues

Always try to login by hand at first. Using Kermit or similar, connect
to the port and issue the username/password pair for that host. You
should see the "Shere=" UUCP string (or whatever it is - there's an S in
there). If this doesn't work, fix this first. Only once you can login
should you have UUCP automate it for you.

What is talking to what? Is this Taylor? Some common ones:

# DECUS 2.0 on VMS
chat "" \r\c sername:-BREAK-sername:-BREAK-sername: \L word: \P

# UUPC for Windows
chat ogin: \L ssword: \P

# Solaris HDB:
chat ogin: \L ssword: \P

# Minix3, also Taylor on Linux
chat ogin: \L ssword: \P


Check your logs, and run uucico by hand with debugging:
uucico -S whatever -x chat,handshake,port,config,incoming,outgoing

cu whatever

Should also get you to the remote prompt of system "whatever".
