As may have been obvious from the recent news statistics, umcp-cs has been down for a while. After some nasty rounds with 4.2, we have intermittent service reestablished, but the fight isn't over yet. News works; sendmail doesn't (it keeps dropping mail from UUCP on the floor -- claims it sent it in the syslog but it isn't anywhere to be found). I'd also like to note that the version of UUCP distributed with 4.2BSD came up the almost first time (only real glitch was in vadopn(): our 3451s require a slight pause beween ^E and ^M), and the same code even works on the Pyramid 90x! (Now that's something.*) Also a big hand to Rick Adams at Seismo for the 4.2BSD TCP UUCP protocol. (Oh, and Emacs came up without a hitch. Of course, we've had it running on the Pyramid for quite a while.) * Not to be taken as a slur on Pyramids; just that they have a rather radically different architecture, which tends to stimulate subtle bugs.
