[comp.unix.xenix] how to force f or x protocol for uucico

blume@netmbx.UUCP (Heiko Blume) (08/23/89)

since our modems (HST) do error correction we'd like to use f or x
protocol, but since uucico selects the protocol depending on the
device we don't know what to do. any hints ?

so... the xenix uucico simply doesnt have the f protocol.
i would like to know why sco removed it from the HDB sources.

the hardware flow control still doesnt work, so that the x 
protocol is unusable at high speeds. the patch that was
made available simply doesnt do its job.

well, if sco won't get better i'll switch to interactive for a real unix.

I don't think "mainline" HDB ever had f protocol.  Ours doesn't (386ix / 
1.0.6 HDB).  Too bad.  Too bad that HDB doesn't have loadable protocols (ala the
new Dialers files) too.  Blame AT&T not SCO.

"f" protocol is/was a PD add-on to BSD UUCP and was distributed *in* BSD
4.3 UUCP and its derivitives.  Never seen it anywhere else.
