I'm running UUPC, the version marked "post-1.0-interim", and I've been having a strange problem. I have three mail links. Two of them work consistently, and I have yet to see a single packet error except when I've picked up the other extension during a connection. The third link behaves strangely. If all of the files I transfer are small (I think under around 1K), everything works correctly. That is, the files transfer with no errors. (I get a message like "1234 packets transferred, 0 errors" in the log file.) I can receive files of any size with no errors also. But if I try to send a file larger than about 1K, I get a message in my log file like "22 packets transferred, 200 errors" (the 22 is typical but not consistent, but it's always 200), and the file isn't transferred. I've asked the system administrator of that link about the problem, and the administrator of another site that talks to that system, and neither has heard of any such problem before. Is this a known bug in UUPC? Is it a bug in UUPC at all, or possibly a hardware problem? I don't often read this newsgroup, so please mail any replies to me either here or at my site. If a lot of people express interest, I'll post a summary. -- Steve Schonberger microsoft!stevesc@uunet.uu.net "Working under pressure is the sugar that we crave" --A. Lamb also: root@sensual.wa.com

Hummm... is/are one/both systems using/misusing/notusing flow control?
