Configuring CU and UUCP to dial out

Note: As an alternative to the method described below, you may be able to use
RealPort, as described in Chapter 11.
If you want to use CU or UUCP on your UNIX system without RealPort, you should
install RTTY. RTTY works by associating a pseudo TTY port with a particular port or
port "group" on the PortServer II. The pseudo TTY operates similarly to a regular
port, allowing you to use kermit, UUCP, CU, and similar programs.
You can obtain a copy of RTTY from the Digi International FTP server or BBS.
(Refer to Contacting Digi in Chapter 18 of this User's Guide for numbers and
protocols). The source code is available to customers, and you can also download
binaries for most popular operating systems.
RTTY is provided on an "as-is" basis by Digi International, but it is not covered by
our unlimited technical support policy. Digi provides the source, internal documenta-
tion in the source, and an unlimited distribution license when used with our products.
RTTY does not work with STREAMS-based pseudo TTYs. Also, pseudo TTYs
associated with "clone" devices normally must be opened by the clone device.
However, even systems with clone devices often maintain BSD-style devices.
We recommend that you read your UNIX man pages to find out what your system
supports. If your system supports BSD-style pseudo TTYs, you can display the
devices available by typing:
ls /dev/pty*
