From: Barry Eynon <EYNON@SU-SCORE.ARPA> It's possible my previous observation about XON/XOFF may have been due to a random chance association - others have reported the same problem under both settings. However, I do have one other possibility - when I looked at the sources mentioned in merlin:~/ftp/pub/mac and compared them with those I got from sumex:<info-mac>, the only difference in the code was a sleep(1); immediately before the send_file(files.f_info,1); call in macput.c . I have installed this in my version, and have tried it several times without the bug occurring. Perhaps this will solve the problem. -Barry Eynon -------

From: mclure@Sri-Unix I tried macget last night at 1200 baud with xon/xoff disabled. It worked perfectly and transferred a 20K file. I had been unable to transfer anything before last night even with sleep's at that location. Now it works fine. Stuart
