I recommend you start by installing the attached known-good config. files
included in the document.
Put these file in their "standard" location: /etc/uucp on recent
linux distributions or /usr/lib/uucp on older ones.
Then make sure that the permissions of the files are
(guylhem@barberouge:uucp)$ ls -l
total 11
-rw-r--r-- 1 uucp uucp 501 Jan 23 11:33 Poll
-rw-r----- 1 uucp uucp 589 Jan 23 11:34 call
-rw-r----- 1 uucp uucp 1184 Jan 23 12:06 config
-rw-r----- 1 uucp uucp 476 Jan 23 12:31 crontab
-rw-r----- 1 uucp uucp 1256 Jan 23 11:47 dial
-rw-r----- 1 uucp uucp 486 Jan 23 11:48 passwd
-rw-r----- 1 uucp uucp 810 Jan 23 11:55 port
-rw-r--r-- 1 uucp uucp 1690 Jan 23 12:04 sys
(guylhem@barberouge:uucp)$
To change file owner, as root, type:
(root@barberouge:uucp)$ chown uucp.uucp *
Then you must change file permissions; as root once again, type:
(root@barberouge:uucp)# chmod 640 *
(root@barberouge:uucp)# chmod +r Poll sys
This file is used to set polling timetables for any system.
schedule polux 01
poll polux 01
My machine calls polux at 01:00, that's all!
You can add more line if you must call many other machines, but don't forget to
put the 2 lines (schedule & poll) for each.
It contains your login/password for each system you poll:
polux uudan password
My machine uses "uudan" login & "password" password :-) when it polls "polux".
As for Poll, adapt this to your situation.

Here just replace "barberouge" by your system name ; run "hostname" if you
can't remind it.

Just run "crontab -u uucp /etc/uucp/crontab" to add it to the others crontabs.
# 1) expect nothing (i.e., continue with step 2)
# 2) send "ATZ", then a carriage return, then sleep for 1 to 2 seconds.
# The \c means to not send a final carriage return.
# 3) wait until the modem echoes "OK", then do the the same for "ATX4" & "OK"
# 4) send "ATDT", then the telephone number (after translating any dialcodes).
# 5) wait until the modem echoes "CONNECT"
# 6) if we get "BUSY", "NO CARRIER" ... during the chat script we abort dialing
# 7) when the call is over, we make sure we hangup the modem

If you allow uucp dialin, just add system/passwords in this file.
It's *that* simple.
But it's recommended for security reasons to make sure each have a separate
account & home directory so you can track things.

You shouldn't change anything here ... except your modem port.
On recent distributions with mgetty, it's /dev/ttySN while on older
distributions it's /dev/cuaN, where N is you serial port:
N starts at 0 & ttyS(N) means COM(N+1), for example, my null-modem is on ttyS1
(COM2) while my modem is on ttyS0 (COM1).
Most of recent modems support hardware flow control, if your doesn't, just
uncomment the line "# hardflow n".
# First some defaults. These are for ALL other entries (unless overridden).

Here, you must change "polux" by the name of the system you poll & "0111111110"
by its phone number.
"polux-2", "polux-tcp" & "horizon" are just examples of user specific needs ;
if the system you poll has more than one line, define it as "itsname-2" ; if
you call it by PPP sometimes, just define "itsname-tcp" also.
It's useful when chat script fail (busy ...)

Execution path /bin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/sbin
Will leave 50000 bytes available
Public directory is /var/spool/uucppublic
Will use protocols gvG
For protocol G will use the following parameters
packet-size 1024
short-packets
to check if all the informations you've set are correct.
Warning: your mileage may vary ; different distributions use different
paths, regardless Linux FSSTD!
If everything is correct, run:
/usr/sbin/uucico -r 1 -x 9 -s remote_system_name
The -x 9 will have maximum debugging information written to the
/var/log/uucp/debug file for help in initial setup.
I normally run -x 4 here since that level logs details that help me
with login problems.
Obviously, this text contains clear informations from your systems file
(account/password) so protect it against world-read.
>From Pierre.Beyssac at emeraude.syseca.fr
Taylor has more logging levels. Use -x all to get the highest level possible.
Also, do a "tail -f /var/log/uucp/debug" while debugging to watch
things happen on the fly.
