[comp.mail.uucp] uucp over SunLink X.25?

jh@tut.UUCP (05/15/87)

We have tried to get uucp f-proto running over SunLink X.25 by making
uucico first to log in to the same Sun through a ptty and then to
invoke SunLink's pad command with the number of the remote uucp site.

This works so far that uucico is able to log in and start f-proto but
the actual file transfer fails probably because of a bad check sum.
Has anybody got any ideas why the transfer fails or, better yet, has
been able to solve the problem.

One solution we are considering is to make uucico open an X.25 socket
instead of playing the game with the pad command.  Effectively this
would mean writing a new dialer for Sunlink X.25.
