From: hadi motamedi on 12 Jul 2010 06:16 Dear All I need to serially connect with another node with possible file transfer . So I issued the following on my solaris8 : #cu -s 9600 -l /dev/term/a But it is returning 'connect failed.No Devices Available' . Can you please let me know how can I accomplish this job? Thank you
From: hadi motamedi on 12 Jul 2010 08:29 Sorry. I found it. It was as : #cu -s 9600 -l /dev/cua/a But after the related modifications done under /etc/uucp/Devices .

Can you > please let me know how can I accomplish this job? cu requires the Systems and Devices config files to be set up. 25 years ago, I would have remembered how to do that ;-) Probably easiest for this would be to download and install kermit. Failing that, try tip instead... tip -9600 /dev/cua/a Note that I'm using the cua device here, so the open doesn't hang if DCD isn't raised. Actually, this usually makes no difference for the internal a and b ports (COM1 and COM2 on x86) because these ports usually have ttya-ignore-cd=true (in case they are going to be used as the system console). However, if you are using some other port such as /dev/term/0, then you might want to use the cua device instead so the device open doesn't hang waiting for DCD to raise, and it does no harm to do the same for all ports (unless you really want the open to hang until DCD is raised). -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup]

Can you please confirm if the 'tip' or 'kermit' can do the job ? Thank you
