[comp.mail.uucp] Problem with FSUUCP

LONGSHOT@VAX1.MANKATO.MSUS.EDU (A deeper shade of soul) (11/20/90)

        I have a problem with FSUUCP11R5.  I have it set up to talk to an
AT&T 3B2 system running UNIX SYSV R3. The problem is this: when I use FSUUCP
to poll the system(att1), the mail I send to the at&t gets out, but any mail
received by my node is not "found" by UUXQT.  I know the mail transfers
because I find the data files (*.D) in the att1 directory in \spool\uucp.
UUCICO and UUXQT always terminate with no errors, but UUXQT always has no work
for att1.  This has had me tearing my hair out for a week, all together.  This
is my first UUCP setup, so am I doing something simple wrong?  If anyone else
has this or a similar setup working, could you please mail me?

Thanks very much in advance,

Longshot

This is a known bug in release 5. Basically, the way that UUXQT constructs
the DOS filename is thrown off by some UUCP's filename construction process.

Release 6, and 1.2 take care of this. If you want to pick up a copy of the
repaired uuxqt.exe, it is available on polyslo.calpoly.edu as "xqtfix.zip" ..
look in the pub directory, if it's not there, it's in the tmp directory
waiting to be moved to pub.

I tried to set up fsuucp11r5 on both a Compaq LT-286 and a Toshiba
T1000 last night.  I think I have everything ready to go, but the
device driver for the COM port locks both machines up; the Toshiba
immediatley and the Compaq eventually.  Can anybody tell me what I may
be doing wrong with the device driver (X00.sys)?
