Well, my newsfeed was down for about 5 days.. Could someone send me
the uucp posting? I must of just missed it, and can't get it from upstream..
Thank you..

Well, I have built 2 versions of uucp, the one posted to the net, and the
one labeled uucp155.tar.Z from plains.nodak.edu. I could not get the version
from the net to access my serial port, whereas the one from nodak could
(BTW, I am using Minix 1.5.10). On the other hand, the version posted to
the net is closer to a "standard" uucp (in organization). Also, if I type
the command
dcp -r1 -x5 -ssysname
It will send packages from my system to system "sysname", but if something
is queued on sysname it will not switch over to SLAVE mode and receive them.
What am I doing wrong?
And has anyone gotten the one posted to the net to work under 1.5.10?
Thanks in advance.

I am the person responsible for the "uucp155" file on Plains. I took Peter Housel's uupc for v1.3 and made it work on 1.5.5; it only required changing ioctl(2) calls and a few other small things. The ioctl interface hasn't changed significantly since then. I recall sending mail both directions and I think I sent files, too. Check out the host you're connecting to; sites running HoneyDanBer UUCP are quite paranoid. If the system that is sending to you has a /usr/lib/uucp/Systems (rather than a L.sys) file, then it's HDB. You'll have to change "Permissions" (in the uucp lib directory) for your system to say something like SENDFILES=yes otherwise that system will only recieve files when you call; it will only send when THEY call YOU. I believe Fred vanKempen's uucp is derived from Peter's port, also, and runs under 1.5.10. -- Glen Overby <overby@plains.nodak.edu> uunet!plains!overby (UUCP) overby@plains (Bitnet)

Actually, I've sort-of "half" fixed the problem. There was a line in
uucico.c from the Micro-Walt posting that read
#if _MINIX
when it should have actually read
#ifdef _MINIX
It was enough to get it to talk to my port. Now all I have to do is get
it to set the baud rate properly.

When I had something to send to an other system, I experienced the same problem when using the uucp version posted to the net by Peter Housel last year. After detailed examination of the debug output I saw that: 1) I was able to send all files that were queued to the other system. 2) After receiving the *first* of many files that were to be sent to my system I found that "my" system always broke the connection. The connection was broken as part of the uucp protocol.. At the time I believed that there was a bug, but I couldn't find it. Also,I did not have any documentation on how uucp was supposed to respond... and I did have a circumvention which was .... 3) When I polled the other system again, (with nothing to send), I was always able to retrieve the balance of the files queued for my system. You will note that I was always polling the other system to pick up my mail and other files. The other system NEVER would call me; so HDB uucp permissions would never be a consideration in MY case. --- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- R.
