I finished writing a version of uucp for the Atari 520 ST, so that it will make full use of a TB+. (I wrote it in GFA Basic, with only two short machine language routines.) It works great. Except that when the host site is a little slow responding, like 12 seconds or more, my software sends an RJ. Well apparently the TB+, which is waiting for data from the host also, repeats the last thing it sent -- which is usually an RR frame. Now this isn't what my software was hoping to see so it again sends an RJ immediately. And so it whips through this little loop nine more times and quickly hangs up assuming failure. The documentation I have is a little vague on the protocol here. What is my software "really" supposed to do in this situation? Or is the TB+ repetition of the RR in error? I can work around it if so, I was just wondering what the "correct" thing to do was. -- - John M.
