After several months of trying, I finally got a message through from my
Amiga to my account at OSU.

I still have not worked the bugs out of the system yet, but I should soon
be able to collect messages on my own machine! I am using the port of
GnUUCP from William Lufton at Unisys and am having some difficulties getting
it to work reliably. Specifically, out of 5 tries with the _same_ binary
and configure text files, it worked _once_ (almost). I keep getting the
GURU with a trap 3 (address error), but at different places in the
conversation. I would be happy to abandon this buggy code, it only I had an
alternative. (UUPC don't talk right to osu-cis - a 3b2) Does anyone have any
suggestions as to why I might be getting lots of odd address traps, even
with the PC up in the WCS range? BTW, I am using Lattice 4.0 (at the Physics
Demonstration Lab - I can't afford it yet :-(, so my compile cycle is really
long.
Thanks,

I am concerned with the "5 tries." I have been running the UUCP with vaxes, and my Amiga for 4 months now without a single failure (I'm talking not even one), so I was quite suprised to here of your problem. If people want to give me accounts on other types of machines I will be willing to login and test AmigaUUCP. I know you sent me some bug reports (that have been fixed), but I didn't know that your were getting transmition failures. > I would be happy to abandon this buggy code, it only I had an > alternative.

Please include in the report the type of machine, amount of memory, your config and L.sys file, and your phone number. Thanks, William Loftus ps. To prove I can send and recieve mail (without failure) people can send mail to me at wpl@creation.prc.unisys.com (My amiga) and I will reply.

(UUPC don't talk right to osu-cis - a 3b2) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > >Thanks, >-ethan I've also been having problems getting UUPC to talk to AT&T UUCP. We've got a 3B1 here at work, and when I try to call it from home UUPC only gets as far as sending the password, and then just sits there. When I set the debugging level of UUCICO high on the 3B1 I found that it was sending "SHere=dworld" and getting no reply. After about 30 seconds everything times out and UUPC hangs up. I'm using the version of UUPC (1.8 Camelot) just posted to the net, but I also had this problem with the original UUPC port. While I'm at it... When I unshared the first part of UUPC, one of readme files had nothing but a header, no text. Unshar didn't complain about this at all, so I asume this is the way it was when it was shared. Was there anything important in that file? Anyhow, if anyone knows why UUPC won't talk to the AT&T UUCP please shed some light on this. It would be really nice top be able to have UUPC/amicron do all my file transfers for me while I was on my way home at night :-).
