I have been experiencing MANY FAILED (conversation complete) when callers have
been requesting files to be transferred via uucp using Xenix386 version 2.3.1
and the Telebit Trailblazer-Plus modem. The percentage of failure is well
beyond acceptable limits. As it turns out, it seems that only 1 in 5 calls
actually complete normally. The failure seems only to happen when files are
transferred and not when mail is sent. It is very difficult to believe that the
problem is with the modem since it works perfectly for other applications
under Xenix.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, what was the fix, if any.
I am afraid that the real problem is with SCO's HoneyDanber port!

Via what telco service are your users trying to do these transfers? I use a both PC Pursuit as well as uucp w/ rlogin across the internet. During the day, the delays in the INternet make using uucp almot impossible. PCP has also been very intermittent for me. Unfortunately, with PCP it's impossible to anticipate when you might have problems. The common symptom is that about half way through a file transfer (usually about the 25-35k mark) uucp will time out. If this is the real problem, there isn't too much you can do about it. I've tried using SCO, BSD, and HBD (BNU) on my Xenix 286 system. HDB has proven to be the most reliable while using networks that are heavily loaded. bob -- Bob Leffler - EDS, GM Truck & Bus Account (313)456-5375 bob@rel.eds.com or {uunet!edsews, rutgers, umix}!rel!bob Opinions expressed may not be those of my employer.

[Stuff deleted] >I am afraid that the real problem is with SCO's HoneyDanber port! I am using exactly the same setup with no trouble at all. I have seen this problem before, however, from a fellow that attempted to establish a UUCP connection with me. Mail would be sent fine, but files would fail after a timeout. He was not using HDB, but WAS I believe using a trailblazer. At that time I was not. Hope this helps. -- *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Frank I.
