Anybody out there tried running AmigaUUCP software, like Matt
Dillon's version 1.03D, with a Telebit TrailBlazer Plus modem using PEP?
I am trying to reduce the time my newsfeed spends connected to me, so that
I can increase the size of the feed (add more newsgroups) to my system.
If I could get it to work at 9600 BPS, that would be good. If I could
get it to work it 18,000 BPS, that would be BETTER!

One of the great improvements (IMHO) that Matt Dillon did to the Amiga UUCP software is to fix the protocol so that it works with with Telebit modems using UUCP-spoofing in PEP mode. I have a T1000 (9600bps PEP) on my Amiga talking to a TB+ (at 19200bps) and I get very good throughput downloading. According to /usr/spool/uucp/.Admin/xferstats on the sending system (an Iris 4D/70GT if it matters), I get over 900 bytes/sec for large files (over 10kB). I was getting about 75cps (PEP) and 180cps (2400) with the older (v 0.5?) UUCP which wouldn't work with UUCP spoofing. -- Scott Henry <scotth@sgi.com> | These are my | Tardis Express -- when it Information Services, | Opinions only! | absolutely, positively Silicon Graphics, Inc | Whose else? | has to be there -- yesterday.
