Full Discussion: UUCP connections
Operating Systems SCO UUCP connections Post 302477115 by jgt on Friday 3rd of December 2010 09:42:35 AM

UUCP uses lock files. My guess is that you have so many connection attempts that a lock file for a previous session still exists when the next connection attempts to use the same tty.
Is there some reason that you cannot use ftp or email?
