10:
11: DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
12: The L-devices file is consulted by the UUCP daemon
13: _u_u_c_i_c_o(8C) under the direction of _L._s_y_s(5) for information
14: on the devices that it may use. Each line describes exactly
15: one device.
16:
17: A line in _L-_d_e_v_i_c_e_s has the form:
18:
19: Caller Device Call_Unit Class Dialer [Expect Send]....
20:
21: Each item can be separated by any number of blanks or tabs.
22: Lines beginning with a `#' character are comments; long
23: lines can be continued by appending a `\' character to the
24: end of the line.
25:
26: _C_a_l_l_e_r denotes the type of connection, and must be one of
27: the following:
28:
29: AACCUU Automatic call unit, e.g., autodialing modems such
30: as the Hayes Smartmodem 1200 or Novation ``Smart
31: Cat''.
32:
33: DDIIRR Direct connect; hardwired line (usually RS-232) to a
34: remote system.

43:
44: SSYYTTEEKK Sytek high-speed dedicated modem port connection.
45:
46: TTCCPP Berkeley TCP/IP or 3Com UNET connection. These are
47: mutually exclusive. Note that listing TCP connec-
48: tions in _L-_d_e_v_i_c_e_s is superfluous; _u_u_c_i_c_o does not
49: even bother to look here since it has all the infor-
50: mation it needs in _L._s_y_s(5).
51:
52: _D_e_v_i_c_e is a device file in /dev/ that is opened to use the
53: device. The device file must be owned by UUCP, with access
54: modes of 0600 or better. (See _c_h_m_o_d(2)).
55:
56: _C_a_l_l__U_n_i_t is an optional second device file name. True
57: automatic call units use a separate device file for data and
58: for dialing; the _D_e_v_i_c_e field specifies the data port, while
59: the _C_a_l_l__u_n_i_t field specifies the dialing port. If the

74: _C_a_l_l__u_n_i_t field is unused, it must not be left empty.
75: Insert a dummy entry as a placeholder, such as ``0'' or
76: ``unused.''
77:
78: _C_l_a_s_s is an integer number that specifies the line baud (for
79: dialers and direct lines) or the port number (for network
80: connections).
81:
82: The _C_l_a_s_s may be preceded by a non-numeric prefix. This is
83: to differentiate among devices that have identical _C_a_l_l_e_r
84: and baud, but are distinctly different. For example,
85: ``1200'' could refer to all Bell 212-compatible modems,
86: ``V1200'' to Racal-Vadic modems, and ``C1200'' to CCITT
87: modems, all at 1200 baud. Similarly, ``W1200'' could denote
88: long distance lines, while ``L1200'' could refer to local
89: phone lines.

91: _D_i_a_l_e_r applies only to ACU devices. This is the "brand" or
92: type of the ACU or modem.

97: use tone dialing, or DDFF111122PP for pulse dialing.

106: modems. Use a _D_i_a_l_e_r field of hhaayyeessttoonnee to use tone
107: dialing, or hhaayyeessppuullssee for pulse dialing. It is
108: also permissible to include the letters `T' and `P'
109: in the phone number (in _L._s_y_s) to change to tone or
110: pulse midway through dialing. (Note that a leading
111: `T' or `P' will be interpreted as a dialcode!)

154: through a smart port selector, or for issuing special com-
155: mands to the modem. The syntax is identical to that of the
156: Expect/Send script of _L._s_y_s. The difference is that the _L-
157: _d_e_v_i_c_e_s script is used _b_e_f_o_r_e the connection is made, while
158: the _L._s_y_s script is used _a_f_t_e_r.
