Leaf Example
------------
A relatively common simple case is a "leaf site", a system which
only calls or is called by a single remote site. Here is a typical
`sys' file that might be used in such a case. For full details on what
commands can appear in the `sys' file, see See sys File.
This is the `sys' file that is used at `airs.com'. We use a single
modem to dial out to `uunet'. This example shows how you can specify
the port and dialer information directly in the `sys' file for simple
cases. It also shows the use of the following:
`call-login'
Using `call-login' and `call-password' allows the default login
chat script to be used. In this case, the login name is specified
in the call-out login file (see Configuration File Names.).
`call-timegrade'
`uunet' is requested to not send us news during the daytime.
`chat-fail'
If the modem returns `BUSY' or `NO CARRIER' the call is
immediately aborted.
`protocol-parameter'
Since `uunet' tends to be slow, the default timeout has been
increased.
This `sys' file relies on certain defaults. It will allow `uunet'
to queue up `rmail' and `rnews' commands. It will allow users to
request files from `uunet' into the UUCP public directory. It will
also allow `uunet' to request files from the UUCP public directory; in
fact `uunet' never requests files, but for additional security we could
add the line `request false'.

# During the day we only accept grade `Z' or above; at other times
# (not mentioned here) we accept all grades. uunet queues up news
# at grade `d', which is lower than `Z'.
