   Here is another way to phrase my problem:

   boogie 44# cu -l ttyf2
   Connect failed: NO DEVICES AVAILABLE

   from man cu
   If the device is not found in the Devices file, an error message similar
   to

		    NO DEVICES AVAILABLE

		    is printed.

   from /etc/uucp/Devices:

   boogie 45# cat /etc/uucp/Devices | grep ttyf2
   ACU ttyf2 null 9600 212 x zdx
   ACU ttyf2 null 14400 212 x zdx
   ACU ttyf2 null 19200 212 x zdx
   ACU ttyf2 null 38400 212 x zdx

   What could be wrong?

Well, Liam, I dunno. However, I don't use cu for such testing: it's a bit
too low-level and requires absolutely correct configuration, and its
error reports are less than complete.

May I suggest that you install and use "kermit" from 

	http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/archives/cku192.tar.gz

This has much better control, especially for unconfigured modem lines.
