To whoever can help !

         I've got a problem with bringing up uucp on my microport unix.
I'm running version 2.4 release 3.6 and the Honey DanBer uucp.  I have a
direct connection with a unix mainframe that I'm trying to get working.
I've HDB uucp installed it on the machine and setup the Devices and Systems 
files as follows :

    Devices
mxxxx tty4g - 4800 Direct

    Systems
mxxxx Any tty4g 4800 tty4g "" \r\d\r\d\r in:-\r-in:-\r-in: ssuucp word: ssbell

if I try :

$ cu -d mxxxx
 
         i get the following messages displayed :

  conn(mxxxx)
  Device Type tty4g wanted
  Requested Device Type Not Found
  getto ret -1
  Call Failed: NO DEVICES AVAILABLE
  exit code 101
  
Now for the question, What is the Device type it is looking for? How can I
setup uucp (Honey DanBer) to at least connect to the other machine?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

                                                 Thanks
                                                 lee
