I've been using the interim version of UUPC for a few weeks now to make UUCP transfers to/from by humble little IBM/AT which runs under MSDOS. Over all I think UUPC is pretty decent software. The UUIO program emulates the real UNIX UUCICO send-expect scripts in every important way. As a result, I have found that one can make reliable connects a very high percentage of attempts. The difficulty I have been experiencing is with excessive numbers of data checksum errors. The phone connections I get with KERMIT or something similar are very clean, so the phone communication itself is not a big suspect. Few transfers result in zero errors, and some result in alot ( for example a 10K byte file had ~400 errors ). The source file ulib.c from the local.arc archive contains some comments which allude to this problem. The general indication was that interrupts from the serial port were not always being serviced in a proper manner. Can anyone give be a brief explanation as to exactly what causes this, and of any possible remedies? E-mail replies are best, I will post responses to summarize if appropriate.
