Type Field and /etc/uucp/Systems File

Example 12-5 shows a comparison between the fields in /etc/uucp/Devices and fields in /etc/uucp/Systems. The titles of each column apply only to fields in the Devices file.

The keyword used in the Type field of the Devices file is matched against the third field of the Systems file entries, as indicated in Example 12-5. In the Devices file, the Type field has the entry ACUEC, indicating an automatic call unit, in this case a V.32bis modem. This value is matched against the third field in the Systems file, which also contains the entry ACUEC. (See "/etc/uucp/Systems File" for more information.)
