I am looking for a PEP site to poll for the Fidonet mtask conference via UUCP after it has been gated. Can anyone help me? I would prefer a site in the US.

I keep getting an error "cannot create poll file" when running ufgate to poll my host - any ideas?

> I keep getting an error "cannot create poll file" > when running ufgate to poll my host - any ideas? Have you made sure that a spool directory for that site exists? Make sure the path in the UFGATE.CTL (I think that is what it is called) points to the same spool path that you created. I have had like problems in the past and those were the cause. :-) Don Ault {purdue,pur-ee}!phr-phy!tippy!ault!don.ault 1:201/40 -- .---------------------------------------------------------------------_ /|--. | Don P.

In your ufgate.ctl, be sure you use correct directory name. I suggest to try this in MS-DOS computer away from VP/IX (I am running ufgate in my own laptop). If you want to poll to foobar, I suggest to make c:\uucp\spool\foobar in both ufgate.ctl and ms-dos directory. If you are running under vp/xi, you may have unix file permission problem. If creating poll file is successful, it should show up as poll.c under \uucp\spool\foobar. My boy says, "Don't Worry. Be Happy!". willy In article <[2545a7b1:23]comp.mail.uucp@nstar.UUCP> you write: >I keep getting an error "cannot create poll file" >when running ufgate to poll my host - any ideas? - - -- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Willy Paine BBS/FAX +1-206-822-4615 % % uunet!nwnexus!seaeast!willyp decwrl!fungus.dnet!paine % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % It takes less time to do a thing right than to explain % % why you did it wrong - Longfellow. % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I have UFGate running on one of my machines and the gate from Unix to Fido works fine - but I can't get the outbound Fidonet mail batched up and the rnews headers installed - so after the replies are mailed to the unix machines - they are canned. Any ideas?

>In your ufgate.ctl, be sure you use correct directory name. >I suggest to try this in MS-DOS computer away from VP/IX >(I am running ufgate in my own laptop). If you want to poll to Willie - do you have that Fidonet package that up picked up from Europe up and running under Unix/Xenix?

I already send you rfmail version 0.3.5 but this is terrible broken and author's boss will not let him testing this on his way. Author send me workable version 0.3.4 and it compiles in Xenix very well, even you need to include alloca.c from GNU or maybe fake it with malloc(). Right now in Xenix, dialing out is not working and it has problem with status calls on communication but this works fine with real System V except disconnecting when try to start Sealink. I am still waiting for compiler for Unix 3.2 so I can use in my own machine at home. I am told that this code works perfect on BSD machine. Willy p.s. I can send you version 0.3.4 in uuencode. just send me email to uunet!nwnexus!seaeast!willyp or willyp@seaeast.wa.com In article <[254b0634:24.1]comp.mail.uucp;1@nstar.UUCP> you write: >>In your ufgate.ctl, be sure you use correct directory name. >>I suggest to try this in MS-DOS computer away from VP/IX >>(I am running ufgate in my own laptop).

Author >send me workable version 0.3.4 and it compiles in Xenix very well, Well - does it work well enough to allow me to UUCP the Echomail over to the Unix box then run rfmail to TOSS the mail into Usenet compatible messages?
