[comp.dcom.modems] SunOS 4.1 uucp => tb+

markm@apex.com (Mark McDonald) (03/20/91)

	Setup: Sun 3/160 running SunOS 4.1. 
	       Incomm MNP5 modem

	Problem: I'm unable to successfully transfer data via
	uucp between this machine and another machine (386 running
	Xenix (HDB uucp).  I can connect via tip or cu and get an
	interactive login going just fine.

	I can also connect with a 286 running Xenix (HDB) and a 2/120
	running SunOS 3.5 (V3 uucp). With both the 286 and the 2/120
	uucp will run and transfer data for hours on end without a hitch.
	This is using this same Incomm MNP5 modem and the same phone line.

	The 3/160, however, is able to log in, but then immediately fails
	with the following error:

	
	wmesg 'U'g
	omsg "Ug"
	pkcget: alarm 1
	Alarm while looking for SYN -- request RXMIT
	pkcget: alarm 2
	Alarm while looking for SYN -- request RXMIT
	.....
	(the entire log is included below)

	All suggestions and RTFMs (with pointers) gratefully accepted.

I have the same problem with a GVC MNP 5 modem, i swapped out the modem and
uucp worked fine.  I think that the problem is with flow control, particularly
XON/XOFF, i did everything that i can think of to turn it off or use ctsrts
flow controll but nothing worked.  If you find a solution please let me
know.
