We need some help with uucp. We talk to our feed via uucp (Berkely version
5.1). We often can get a connection but we have a high rate of failure
when it comes to file transfer.
That is, we start a file transfer and midway we get some sort of ASSERT
error. It is either TIMEOUT, or PKCGET or PKXSTART return -1. I found
that we get some occasional read errors in the routine pkcget. One of
the errors is EWOULDBLOCK, the other is EIO. I understand the errors
but I would like some means of recovery.
This has become quite frustrating to us as we have a very difficult time
pulling the news across from our feed.
Any suggestions or fixes or any similar problems? I would greatly
appreciate any assistance or advice you could lend me. Perhaps there
is some other more reliable (if it is indeed a problem with the software)
file transfer program.
Please mail all replies. Thanks.
