Recently I posted a request for info on the uucp trace format ( uucico -x9 )
to this newsgroup. Since I now got my 9600 modem working I thought I tell
you all how.
After I connected my 9600Bps modem to my unix system and dialed in to my
Newsfeed I realised that it did not work very well. I got 3 files off the
Backbone and then it fell over with FAILURE IN INPUT/SLAVE MODE.
I read the exelent article posted recently on the UUCP protocol ( originally
by MR Chesson and others ) but it could not explain the sudden loss of
connection with resulting uucp alarms that I was experiencing.
What saved me was Tim Endres remark about the nesseity to ensure that all
XON/XOFF flow control had to be disabled, that it in fact insted was
nessesary to use RTS/CTS flowcontrol between the DTE/DCE since uucp g
protocol handles all other flow-control / error correction nessesary.
What surprises me now is that 2400 Bps does'nt seem to care less wheter
XON/XOFF is disabled or not. I suppose it is unlikley that any buffers gets
filled at 2400 Bps.
Its been really useful to read this group the last couple of weeks, I will
continue to do so.
Thanks, Lars.
