Is anyone working on a drop-in uucp protocol driver for Datapac? The main requirement is that it repack an 8-bit data path into a 7-bit data path for transmission and unpack upon reception. Bob Lawson (utcsstat!bob) has looked at uucp and claims that there are clean hooks for adding new protocols. Bob was going to write the driver, but there have been more pressing problems. The UNIX* people at UWO (in London, Ont.) are also interested in writing it, but are fighting to keep 2.8BSD up at the moment. UWO isn't on the net yet, but you can reach Dave Wiseman at utcsstat!magi or phone him at (519) 679-2157.
