I have recently tried to hook up a "UUPC" node with my VMSNET node (DECUS UUCP). I have also tried using the WAFFLE uucp implementation as well, and with the same results--- the VAX end ends up telling me that "No Shostname received". When I run it from the PC end, (full debug set), I can see the system log in, I get the "Shere" message, and likewise, the "Smynode" message is sent back. At that point, it times out "awaiting authorization". An interesting note: waffle/uucp said it was waiting for a "^P". Is that standard, and does vmsnet support that? Anyone else had problems trying uupc and/or waffle? summary: vmsnet: no shostname uupc: timeout waiting for auth. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kent C.

I believe the system was running waffle, but I'm not sure. I *do* know that the only systems I've experienced any serious problems with were both DOS based implementations. It seems that no matter how high I set the debug level on DECUS UUCP, I can't get enough information to help troubleshoot. It just gets to the system name exchange and then dies.

I wonder if it would help UUPC if the DECUS UUCP was modified to
provide Shere=XXXXX instead of just the Shere? It is easy enough to do.
In UUCICO.C we can look at the code in the procedure "do_incoming"
and see that DECUS uucp only outputs the "Shere" part.
static char msgo2[] = "\20Shere\0";
do_incoming(ontheline)
{...
/* output Shere message, wait for response */
twrite(msgo2,sizeof(msgo2)-1);
...}
The fix is to sprintf to another buffer with msg02 and
other data as needed before you do the twrite.
