I need some help. I have recently gotten a news feed from philabs via
a unix pc, to another unix pc. We are running 2.11 news, at patch level #14
and the problem is that the two unix pc's want to send the results of uux's
to each other during the transmission of news. I know there was a fix
for this, adding the '-z' option to uux, but that only works if one has
SysV source for the Unix pc which I don't. So the two pc's get into a
shouting match, dialing each other nearly continuously sending uux results
to each other,then the results of those results, ad infinitum. How can
this be stopped? Does anyone have a "fixed" uux for the AT&T unix pc?
Thanks for any help, it would be really appreciated.

Otherwise, you need a version of uucp that understand's the -z option... namely HDB. -- Dave Arnold dave@arnold.UUCP {cci632|uunet}!ccicpg!arnold!dave
