[comp.os.minix] uucp failing

mike.irons@lynx.northeastern.edu (05/25/91)

	Hi all;


   I also have had this problem with uucp. It will stall in the middle of a
transfer that is of even moderate length. I thought that I was just having
problems with our extra-ordinarily noise line. For some reason, that the
operator wont bother fixing, the NULL char gets a /001 after it.

   I tried the newest version that was posted recently to plains in the
pub/Minix/ftp_contrib/uucp3.lzh file. This didn't seem to make any difference
unfortunatly. If you use this package, you need to remove the foo column
from L-devices. It also won't let you poll a sysem if there is no outgoing
transfers to that system (read BUG in very large letters).

   It would be nice to see this fixed, as several people seem to be having
the same problem.
