I have an older version of SCO XENIX V for the '286 (version 2.2.0 I think, but I know it's before 2.2.1, I can't remember now and I'm at work) which I bought second hand from my previous boss. I have been acquiring uucp connections and have begun to notice some problems... With HDB Sys V machines, and some BSD machines; after transfering the first file, the XENIX machine gets hung in state 10; will the other machines send headers until they finally time out. This leaves an odd situation of a successful transfer of the control file, without the data. On the next call, uucico will find the C.<machine>nnnn file, but won't find the control file (since it was previously transferred) leaving a message in the LOGFILE like "CAN'T READ DATA". However, it will successfully transfer one file, timing out again on the next, etc... So, I have two questions... 1) Is this a known problem (any ideas?) and 2) Does SCO have a trade-in/trade-up policy. The warranty card was not sent in on the package, so I still have that. Thanx in advance, - Dave Rivers -
