Sometimes it is desirable to have multiple entries for a single system,
|
|
for instance if the system can be reached on different modem lines.
|
|
With Taylor UUCP, you can do this by defining a so-called <em>alternate</em>.
|
|
<P>
|
|
An alternate entry retains all settings from the main system entry, and
|
|
and specifies only those values that should be overridden in the default
|
|
system entry, or added to it. An alternate is offset from the system
|
|
entry by a line containing the keyword alternate.
|
|
<P>
|
|
To use two phone numbers for pablo, you would modify its
|
|
sys entry in the following way:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P><P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
When calling pablo, uucico will now first dial 123-456,
|
|
and if this fails, try the alternate. The alternate entry retains all
|
|
settings from the main system entry, and overrides only the telephone
|
|
number.
