                     11: 
                     12: The file  LL-ddeevviicceess describes  the communication lines  from your
                     13: COHERENT system  to other sites.  It indicates  whether a line is
                     14: directly  wired or  under modem  control, and  it also  gives the
                     15: protocol needed  to manipulate it.  The  command uuuucciiccoo reads the
                     16: contents of LL-ddeevviicceess before it attempts to transfer a file to or
                     17: from a remote site.
                     18: 
                     19: Each  entry in  LL-ddeevviicceess  has five  fields, each  field being  a
                     20: string  demarcated by  one or  more white-space  characters.  The
                     21: fields are as follows:
                     22: 
                     23: 11. TTyyppee
                     24:      The first  field defines  the type of  line.  A line  can be
                     25:      either of two types: DDIIRR (for a directly wired line), or AACCUU
                     26:      (for  a modem).   Note the  spelling:  both entries  must be
                     27:      entirely in upper case.
                     28: 
                     29: 22. LLiinnee
                     30:      The  second field  defines the  serial  line into  which the
                     31:      device is  plugged.  This  entry must specify  the ``local''
                     32:      COM device (e.g., ccoomm33ll or hhss0000).
                     33: 
                     34: 33. DDiissaabbllee
                     35:      For modem devices (type  AACCUU), the third field must give the
                     36:      remote variant for the entry in field 2 (e.g., for ccoomm33ll the
                     37:      entry would  be ccoomm33rr,  for hhss0000  it is hhss0000rr).   The device
                     38:      named in  this field must appear in  the file /eettcc/ttttyyss. For
                     39:      directly  connected devices  (type DDIIRR),  the device  is the
                     40:      same as the entry in the second field.
                     41: 
                     42: 44. BBaauudd
                     43:      The fourth field must give a legal baud rate for your modem,
                     44:      as  specified in  the entry in  file /eettcc/mmooddeemmccaapp  for your
                     45:      modem.
                     46: 
                     47: 55. MMooddeemm
                     48:      Field 5  must correctly name your modem  using an entry from
                     49:      /eettcc/mmooddeemmccaapp.
                     50: 
                     51: The  file /eettcc/mmooddeemmccaapp  contains  descriptions for  a number  of
                     52: popular  modems,  to  spare you  the  trouble  of typing  control
                     53: sequences for your modem.  For  a list of the modems described in
                     54: this file, as well as available speeds, see the Lexicon entry for
                     55: mmooddeemmccaapp.
