It turns out that the S111 register setting on the Telebit T2500
was set to 255. After changing it to S111=30, it works flawlessly !

The real clue was in the following :

> state - [INIT code a] (01)
> Proto start-fail g
> STARTUP FAILED

Thanks to David about his tip in checking the g protocol.

Here are the responses :

A real interesting one. It looks like your Solaris 2.3 machine (zeus) is
rejecting the g communication protocol for some reason. The g protocol is
the default communication protocol for uucp and provides error checking, etc ...

The only two things that I know that can cause this is that you are specifying
a different protocol in the /etc/uucp/Devices file or in the /etc/uucp/Config
file ...

In your Devices file, make sure you are just specifying the device and
NOT a protocol. For example, if you are using ACU as the device, make
sure that your entry looks something like this ...

ACU cua/b - 2400 hayes

and NOT this ...

ACU,e cua/b - 2400 hayes

The second entry forces uucp to use the e protocol.

In the Config file, just make sure that you are not specifying a Potocol. For
more info read the Config file ...

Hope this helps ...

try to check the modem flow control. You should set
the flow control to 'no flow control' - not xon/xoff.

If that still doesn't work, try to use 'f' protocol.

to use 'f' protocol, set in /etc/uucp/Systems
.....
athena Any ACU,f 9600 xxxx .......
