Is this a known bug in UUPC? Is it a bug in It's a sort of known problem, with a sort of known fix. You need to up your time out limit, which is a fix that came from the folks up in Vancouver who wrote it. Lemme see... TIMEOUT (I think ... I changed it because it conflicted with another global) in DCP Packet.c is raised to 15 in my version. Speaking of "my version", the bored or adventurous among you may wish to retrieve it via anonymous FTP from clutx.clarkson.edu, it is in uucpusr.zip in the pub sub-directory. Please send me mail if you do, so I know who has it. It includes mail aliases, multiple mail servers, and 2 pages of bug fixes (many of which I caused). This is a binaries only zip file, if you need source ask me. What is the post 1.0 interim version? Does anyone know the address for van-bc.uucp? I tried the address I had for them and it didn't work. I want to ship my code back to them so they can accept it or reject it as they please and I'm not maintaining 1000 lines of C code attached to someone else's 5000 lines of C code.

I've asked the system The 200 is a hard coded limit. grep the source files if you want to find out where it is. Also: The correct name for my version is pub/uupc/uupcuser.zip; where I was when I typed pub/uucpusr is beyond me... but I added a link to the file under the weird name so the people who miss this post can find it. Next update, if any, will only be under the correct name. All of this refers to the version of UUPC available from clutx.clarkson.edu via anonymous FTP. It is not available via mail or sled dog. Drew
