Is it possible to set up a UUCP link between a machine in the US and
another in GB using TELEBIT Trailblazers?? Is it legal (on the GB side)?
Is the quality of International Dialups good enough for it to work
reliably??
I may have a reason to do this soon. Sure would be nice it it is possible.

Telebits are legal in the UK, and even have offices in London, I believe.

We are not the only site to have transatlantic uucp connections using trailblazers. It works wonderfully - provided you remember to munge the echo supression thing (S settings available upon request!). To be completely legal and above board, the UK site should be using the UK version of a trailblazer; it's the same as the US one except (a) the voltage and (b) it will not redial a number that is engaged more than 10 times in 4 hours - highly irritating for frequently busy connections!

They rent the modem from the post office there, so it is legal electronically. It sometimes takes 3-5 tries to establish a connection, but it is definitely doable. -- Jonathan M.

The London office uses a Telebit Trailblazer+. Come the end of the year, we'll be talking to a T2500 at one of our job sites in Saudi Arabia.
