[comp.unix.xenix] ARNET Smartport + TB Plus

mikes@sir-alan.UUCP (Mike Squires) (02/01/90)

With the 5.1.13 driver, now being shipped (according to word of mouth -
my copy hasn't arrived yet) the Arnet boards seem to be coexisting
better with uucp and TB+ modems.  I am now consistently running
between 1000 and 1600 bytes/sec (using "uutraf") in my connections
to UUNET and another 386 XENIX system that polls me at 19.2K bps.
(I'm using the 5.1.12 beta drivers, 5.1.13 fixes a bug involving failure
to transmit a BREAK).

The only problem remaining is that LCK..tty2[cd] files are still occasionally
left when a process terminates abnormally.  This occurs both for uucico and
for ordinary users.  These occur once in a few days at this point.

If anyone is interested I have a message available which includes the
ATN? output from my modem (ROM level 5.0), /etc/gettydefs, /usr/lib/uucp/Dialers
entries, etc.
