Thanks to the people who sent the solution to the uucp transfer problem I posted about last week -- Kenneth Herron, Chip Rosenthal and Bill Dennen (Bill - I tried to reply to your mail, but it bounced). The problem, again, was that the packet transfers failed after a successful login. The reason was that I was using xon/xoff flow control on the serial line between each workstation and its modem. Switching to rts-cts fixed this and another problem involving file tranfers with tip/ymodem-g. Perhaps this is basic knowledge to communications experts, but it isn't mentioned anywhere in the reams of documentation I read before posting here. The quick response is especially appreciated. I logged a service call with Sun on the 1st, and they have yet to have anyone respond. -------------------- Chuck D'Ambra National Center for Atmospheric Research P.O.
