The subject line spells it out pretty well. I'm trying to run UUCP over a Bridge box, and having considerable difficulty. The particulars are: sun -> bridge -> sun (and) SysVR3 (HDB) -> modem -> bridge -> (internet) -> sun The left hand side sun is only a 3/50 that I'm using for testing, the right hand side sun is a 4/280 running 3.2 - The SysVR3 is on an InterPro32C. The Bridge box is running SW/100-TCP-13000 with proms MP - T1 MMON rev. 02B, and SIO - T1 ASYN rev. 18C. The UUCP is using protocol `g'. I've got the obvious things set, FlowControlTo, FlowControlFrom are "none"; BReakAction is InBand, BReakChar is "disabled", LongBReakAction is InBand. Has anybody else ever attempted such a feat? We've had Bridge boxes here for a while, but never attempted to run UUCP over them. Symptoms are: With the above settings, mail (ascii text) seems to go through fine, however, binary data usually retransmits until it fails. When the "hang" occurs, the foreign side keeps sending back "(DL)(HT)(SY)*(D4)!" (at least that's what it looks like on the serial analyzer, I don't think I've ever seen a D4 before ...). I suspect that the Bridge box is doing some character translation that is corrupting the UUCP packet and the foreign side is trying to indicate a transmission failure -- I'm not well versed in protocol g, so I find it hard to tell (BTW: if *you* have a listing of the protocols, or know where to get them, I'd appreciate the information). Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
