NOTE

UUCP Support (x29uucpd)

Overview

x29uucpd provides UUCP connectivity on X.25 networks using CCITT Recommendations X.3 and X.29. With x29uucpd, users on HP 9000 host systems with X.25 access and UUCP can execute UUCP subsystem commands to other systems running X.25, PAD support, and UUCP. x29uucpd interfaces with the X.25 subsystem through BSD Sockets to initiate call request packets to remote systems on X.25. When a call request arrives at a destination system, it is received by the PAD support service.

x29uucpd creates device files in the /dev/x29/ directory. The device files must be configured in the UUCP subsystem in order for UUCP to interface with x29uucpd.

The x29uucpd user-level program provides support for UUCP file transfers. It accesses X.25 level 3 through Berkeley Sockets (programmatic interface) and uses PTY pairs for the terminal interface to UUCP (see the following illustration).
