I'm not sure. I've only done simple UUCP configuring, mainly ending in
frustration. :-(

With the above, cu -p mymodem might work (would type modem set clocal for
the first bit of the connection?), but I doubt cu -l tty00 will work.
clocal needs to be set, and isn't by default in the setup originally
described (otherwise there'd have been no problem :-)

Given these problems, I'd suggest the original poster just set up ppp.
chat will certainly figure out if the modem's there. :-)

Take care,
