Isn't Amiga UUCP great? Thanks Matt. Amiga UUCP *is* pretty neat. I'm fishing for an answer to my problems encountered when using it though: I have a V32 (9600bps) modem, and it works fine talking to anyone at V32. Unfortunately UUCICO doesn't seem to be hacking the pace when I talk to my UNIX host at 9600bps. At 2400bps things are fine. At 9600bps, I get one, perhaps two, packets of mail (50K or so each), and then UUCICO gives up the ghost and calls Rmail to unpack the received packets. I have a 30Mhz 68030 so I wouldn't have thought processor speed was a problem. I purchased the ASDG dual serial card yesterday, and configured UUCICO to talk through that device. I STILL get the same problems. If I do anything at all whilst the transfer is going on (go to my editor, put a disk in the disk drive, do a LIST of UUSPOOL :-), then UUCICO gets out of sync with my host, and ceases to try and talk. This also happens spontaneously (like at the end of a packet, when it's writing the information to HD) I thought that ASDG board would solve my problems, but it hasn't. Next on my list is to have UUSPOOL: in RAM: instead of on HD (I've got about 7MB of ram available out of my 9Mb installed, so I should be ok there). I'm wary of this solution, because losing a session due to power outage would be traumatic. ************************************************************ * Does ANYONE else have problems running UUCICO at 9600bps!* ************************************************************ Since I can't use MAIL, replies via this newsgroup would be appreciated.

Are there any UUCP wizards out there that can help me out with the probelm I am having with UUCP1.06d? I have installed it all on my machine as per the docs (at least I think...), but I don't have anyone to test with so I had to be as carefull as I can and go straight for the UNIX feed. Everything seems to work, if I send mail it puts three spool files in the spool, if send mail to my username (without a site) it puts it in my mailbox and I can read it, etc... If I run UUCICO to poll the site it calls and successfully logs in, sends some characters back and forth and logs out. The spoool/logfile would get any entry like this: (12/20-09:36:42) uucico,sereneslow,- DIALED sereneslow (12/20-09:36:47) uucico,sereneslow,- SUCCEEDED call to sereneslow but all my outgoing mail files are still in my spool and never end up at their destination, and the administrator at my feed assures me that there is mail and news waiting for me. Nothing has ever shown up (mail or news) from any machine other than mine. I called the machine manually to make sure the login was all correct, entered my login and password and I get the "Shere=serene" (serene" is the node name that is feeding me), which is whats supposed to happen (I think). What could I be doing wrong? The only thing I can think of is maybee I have a probelm with the security file. There was no example lib/security file in my distribution so I used the one from the man page, and it now looks like this: # This file is used by UUCICO to determine the validity of requests. # # The directories listed here are *allowed* directories for uucp # transfers. The permissions field lists permissions # r -readable # w -writable tmp: rw uucp:c r uucp:man r UUPUBW: rw UUPUB: r UUCP:lib rw UUCP:s rw UUCP:mail rw UUCP:News rw # If you have a UUPUBW: assign that is *different* from UUPUB: then # you might want to make UUPUB: readable only and UUPUBW: read-write. Am I missing something that could be preventing proper transfers, or could I have a problem somewhere else that I havent though of? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

(That problem line looks exactly like my problem line, pity I got no answers.) I found that assigning UUSPOOL to RAM: worked brilliantly. I'm getting a new 230Mb SCSI hard drive next week (unless Christmas slows delivery down, and will attempt to put UUSPOOL: back then, since SCSI is so much quicker than the ST506 (2090A) controlled HD's I use at the moment. > (12/20-09:36:42) uucico,sereneslow,- DIALED sereneslow > (12/20-09:36:47) uucico,sereneslow,- SUCCEEDED call to sereneslow > > but all my outgoing mail files are still in my spool and never end up at their > destination, and the administrator at my feed assures me that there is mail > and news waiting for me.

I found that I was giving it the wrong site name (Node name # login name, yet config files said they were - my fault entirely). UUCICO doesn't give you much in the way of error info UNLESS you tell it to. Does your connection work at 2400? > Jason Goldberg UUCP: ucsd!serene!pnet12!jason Dac _l _ _ Andrew Clayton.

First, thankyou for the reply: I found out that outgoing news was being bit bucketted until last Monday, and was wondering if my mail got out. It's nice to get responses occasionally. On with the problem. I'm talking to a Pyramid Un*x box. I know someone else who had problems with a small machine being 'overloaded' by the transfer rate that ccadfa uses. Ever since moving spool to Ram: I haven't had a problem (some out of sequence packets like this: Received sequence 7, expected 5 Received sequence 0, expected 5 Received sequence 1, expected 5 Received sequence 2, expected 5 Received sequence 3, expected 5 but no lost sessions). > Last night I copied one 40meg HD partition to a second partition on the > same drive while running UUCICO and downloading a news feed > to a different drive.

I'm having some difficulty posting netnews. Everything else works just fine
such as mail, newsfeeds to my system and the forwarding of feeds to other
systems. However, I can't seem to get my posts to go anywhere. They
immediately show up on my machine but I have yet to see the news go off to
another site. I posted and then looked at my UUSPOOL: directory and nada.
Is there a config entry I have to worry about or what? I am currently using
Dnews and AmigaUUCP 1.06Db (beta batchnews).

I'm a neophyte at this stuff myself. I use ARN, which places three files into UUSpool: for each message that I create: C.<site>A<seq> which is 110 bytes long, and contains UUCP commands? D.<site>B<seq> which is the message text D.<site>X<seq> which is 46 bytes long, and contains more commands (<site> is the name of the site, and <seq> is some arbitrary sequence number) I'm not sure what they mean, since the doco for AmigaUUCP doesn't cover it. All I know is that they 'magically' go to the site, when I use UUCICO. > Is there a config entry I have to worry about or what? I am currently using > Dnews and AmigaUUCP 1.06Db (beta batchnews).

I think your problems will go away in you put UUCICO into master mode. Try doing a: uucico -r1 -ssereneslow If you're using a V.32 modem (or slower), and your DTE <-> DCE speed is 9600 baud or higher, make sure your modem is set up for hardware (RTS/CTS ) flow control, and use this line to call up sereneslow: uucico -r1 -ssereneslow -7 >I called the machine manually to make sure the login was all correct, entered >my login and password and I get the "Shere=serene" (serene" is the node name >that is feeding me), which is whats supposed to happen (I think). Yes. "Shere" means "system here", I think. It's just serene identifying itself. >What could I be doing wrong? The only thing I can think of is maybee I have a >probelm with the security file.
