Re: UUCP connection "Timed out in chat script"

Now I want to make a connection between my notebook and my server, and for
some reason the connection eludes me so far. It clearly connects (via ssh
pipe), but then times out in chat script according to the log. This
happens from both sides, and I cannot see any issue with the configuration
on either side.

I assume you've already tested ssh from the notebook to the server on the
command line to make sure you have connectivity?

Is there a way to get more information as to why it times out? Or what
exactly it is doing when it tries to connect?

Yes and yes. Read up on the --debug option in
https://www.oreilly.com/openbook/linag2/book/ch16.html#AUTOID-13819
I'm guessing you want "--debug chat".
