Type Fields in Devices File and Systems File

Example 26–5 shows a comparison of the fields in /etc/uucp/Devices and the fields in /etc/uucp/Systems. The keyword that is used in the Type field of the Devices file is matched against the third field of the Systems file entries. In the Devices file, the Type field has the entry ACUEC, indicating an automatic call unit, in this instance a V.32bis modem. This value is matched against the Type field in the Systems file, which also contains the entry ACUEC. See UUCP /etc/uucp/Systems File for more information.
