[comp.dcom.modems] PP9600SA with UUCP e protocol flow control problems

burris@highspl (David Burris) (01/24/91)

I have been running a Practical Peripheral 9600SA modem talking to
my news feed with 2400/MNP4 using HDB uucp e protocol on a UNIXPC.

This has mostly been running smoothly but occasionally I'm having
flow control problems (INPUT/SLAVE MODE errors from UUCP) that
appear to be file dependant.

When I see this, if I drop back to the UUCP standard protocol (g?)
and non-MNP4 mode on the modem, everything is OK again.

The problem is that I don't know how to determine if the problem is
a bug in my UUCP e protocol or the modem's MNP4 mode.

Are there any UNIXPC users with a DIFFERENT modem using otherwise
the same configuration?

Are there any non-UNIXPC users using the SAME modem and
configuration but using a DIFFERENT UUCP?

I not certain what brand of modem I'm talking to (I think it's a
Hayes) but I could certainly find out. It could possibly be an
interaction between the modems.

I would appreciate any help the net can offer to get this resolved.
For now, I will operate g protocol/non-MNP4.
