I used to use uucp to dial into remote locations...but they were SCO systems.

Try this though:

Check to make sure the 'uuxqt' daemon is running.

ps -ef|grep uuxqt

I believe this daemon looks a the 'X.*' files to figure out how to execute your commands.

Check the man page. I'm pretty sure you need this running.

Goodluck Smilie

NAME

       uuxqt - execute remote command requests

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/uucp/uuxqt [-s system] [-x debug-level]

DESCRIPTION

       uuxqt  is  the  program	that  executes remote job requests from remote systems generated by the use of the uux command. (mail uses uux for
       remote mail requests). uuxqt searches the spool directories looking for execution requests. For each request, uuxqt checks to  see  if  all
       the required data files are available, accessible, and the requested commands are permitted for the requesting system. The Permissions file
       is used to validate file accessibility and command execution permission.

       There are two environment variables that are set before the uuxqt command is executed:

	 o  UU_MACHINE is the machine that sent the job (the previous one).

	 o  UU_USER is the user that sent the job.

       These can be used in writing commands that remote systems can execute to provide information, auditing, or restrictions.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -s system       Specifies the remote system name.

       -x debug-level  debug-level is a number from 0 to 9.
			Higher numbers give more detailed debugging information.
