Hi,
I'm trying to setup a regular UUCP connection between the two Suns. Machine B
is in the UK, Machine A is in the USA. Host B polls host A periodically.
Everything works fine if the uucp connection is made manually with a high level
of debug output (levels 5 and 9 work), but when I try to make the connection
with no debug output, things start to go haywire. Particularly, I start to
lose characters at the beginning of the connection (while host B is trying to
log onto host A). The number of characters which appear to be lost varies.
This effectively prevents the login from occuring.
I know that the TrailBlazer will ignore characters under certain conditions
at startup (e.g. when trying to connect with MNP), but I can't think of
anything which would behave this way in my case (I'm trying to connect in
PEP mode, the calling modem is locked to that speed).
Any ideas, suggestions would be welcome.
Setup: Machine A is a Sun 3/160, SunOS 3.5, connected to a Telebit TrailBlazer.
Machine B is a Sun SLC, SunOS 4.1.1, also connected to a TrailBlazer.
Thanks in advance,
