More on my UUCP problems

[andrew scott lagodzinski]

	I have had many replies to my original call for help with my UUCP
connection problems.  I am still having problems, but I now have more 
information on the problem.  First I am running the stock UUCP that came
with version 3.51 of the UNIXPC OS.  I am using a Micom dial series modem,
it claims to be Hayes AT compatible and I have had no problems with it in
over a year of use on my Amiga, and recently with my UNIXPC.  
	Some people have suggested that I set 'DCD' to be high always from
the modem.  I have never before seen a reference to 'DCD', but I am assuming
that this and carrier detect are one and the same.  At first I tried setting
this with a hardware switch, but this caused problems because the UNIXPC 
thought that someone was tring to LOGIN on tty000.  This was bad and brought
the system to it's knees.
	As I was typing this note I thought about the Fixdisk to bring the
system up to 3.51a.  I remember having some problems with the installation
of this package on my system.  I just double checked my system and come to
find out that the copy I recieved of the Fixdisk was not complete.  It is
missing the uucico replacement that is supposed to fix the following...

../fixdisk/uucp/Info ... 
The uucp (/usr/lib/uucp/uucico) has fixes for the following:

	-uucico hangs at call completion
	-uucico turns modem speaker on
	-time stamps incorrect in LOGFILE

	The problem I have been experencing may or may not be fixed by the 
newer version of uucico.  If this is the problem I am truly sorry to have 
wasted so much of everyone's time on this.

	What I am experencing is that uucico, not the modem, is hanging up the
line.  I feel this is the case because uucico makes two attempts to dail out
and on the second attempt I get a connection with the modem, but uucico seems
to have timed out.  It then appears (I have no way of checking) that the UNIXPC
tries to LOGIN because there is a carrier detect on tty000.  This of course 
fails because Ohio-State is trying to LOG my machine in.

	I have tried setting the wait for carrier detect time from 30 seconds
to 60 seconds.  I have tried setting the carrier detect high in the dial 
command in the modemcap entry...
#sccs	"@(#)uucp:modemcap	1.3"
# Hayes smartmodem 1200
# Name=hayes
ha|hayes|hayes 1200:tr=\r:wp=\r:wk=K:wt=T:\
                   :ta=AT\r:tb=AT&C0DT:\    <--added the '&C0' here
                   :es=\r:\
                   :d1#1:d5#5:\
                   :pl=trwpd1tad1wpwpwkwptbphtrwpwpwttr:
  
This doesn't seem to change the behavior of uucico.  I am truly stumped as
to how to get uucico to hang around long enough to see the carried detect from
the modem.        HELP!!
