Has anyone gotten an implementation of UUCP running on the ST? I've tried
Mailtruk, but it just doesn't want to work with my host system (MT drops
characters at 2400 baud, my host won't accept 1200). I remember someone
was trying to get UUPC running, and I even have some source patches to that
effect, but my floppy-only system just can't handle a C-compile that big.
ARRGH! must be time to either get a hard disk or else get an IBM clone
with a hard disk.
In any event, if someone could mail me a uuencoded EXECUTABLE of a working
UUPC/UUCP implementation that will run on a 512K ST with one DS and one SS
floppy (and will support reliable 2400-baud operation), I would be forever
in their debt.
Does a working UUCP exist under MINIX as well? MTC-shell?
Thanks to all for taking the time to read this request!

Are you running MailTruck from within the GfA-Interpreter ?
You might want to compile it for speed-improvement...

As the newest version has been tagged 1.0, I might mention a system written
by a friend in Stuttgart which is called Mercury UUCP Modules.
It provides a complete (although simple) Mail & News system for the Atari ST
running under TOS !

Don't ask me to send away Mercury UUCP... I only have a test-version (0.926)
and it is not that small. I don't have a fat documentation either.

There is bdt-uucp especially for the MT C-Shell. If you're having RS232-
support in your Minix-Kernel, a portation of Gnuucp should be quite
straight-forward.

Yes MT C-Shell has a supported UUCP, called MT C-Shell UUCP. The package sells for $49.95 retail. It has uucp file and mail support and is set uop and run similar to Un*x UUCP, with uucico running from cron and a L.sys file defining the links. It also supports two-way use of the same modem (incoming and outgoing calls on the same line). There is also a scaled-down PD version of news software available for it from our BDT BBS (415) 530-9682. >-- >Bill Meahan | UUCP: uunet!mailrus!umich!pmsmam!wwm -- David Beckemeyer (david@bdt.UUCP) | "I'll forgive you Dad...

[...] The Atari TOS buffers characters from which MailTruk merely extracts them. Furthermore, the packet protocol does a checksum on the data packet and requests retransmission of bad packets. So my question is what makes you think the problem is character dropping???? -- - John Logajan @ Network Systems; 7600 Boone Ave; Brooklyn Park, MN 55428 - logajan@ns.network.com, john@logajan.mn.org, 612-424-4888, Fax 424-2853

On the workline request (always!) the control byte seemed to be missing. MT loops forever looking for a valid packet. The system I'm connecting to is an HP9000/825 HP-UX 2.1. This host moves about 3 MB of news a day over a Telebit T2500 plus makes other UUCP connections so I'm sure that the host end works properly :-) -- Bill Meahan | UUCP: uunet!mailrus!umich!pmsmam!wwm | snail: 128 Factory St., Ypsilanti, MI 48197 #include <disclaimer.std> | voice: +1 313 484 9320 /* witty */ |packet: wa8tzg @ wa8ooh.mi.usa.na

I don't know why the control byte is missing, but I am pretty sure it is not a speed issue. As I say, the TOS buffers incoming characters. MailTruk merely uses a bigger buffer. There should be more than enough buffer room for control messages and packets. One thing you might want to check is to make sure MailTruk and your modem are NOT flow controlling! XOFF-XON should be disabled in both your modem and MailTruk (about line #20 in MailTruk, 3rd xbios parameter should be zero.) Control bytes often look like xoff/xon characters, thus screwing everything up as they are stripped off the message! -- - John Logajan @ Network Systems; 7600 Boone Ave; Brooklyn Park, MN 55428 - logajan@ns.network.com, john@logajan.mn.org, 612-424-4888, Fax 424-2853
