Three points:
Has anyone been connecting external modems to their unix-pcs? There's
a 2400-baud hayes clone available thru a friend for $135. This and a
trailblazer sound attractive. Anybody made them work well with uucp?
Or the phone mgr? [[Yes, I know the trailblazer is overkill. But I
won't have this pc forever, and the price may be right.]]
Interesting interaction between the Korn shell, the TMOUT variable, and
terminal emulation. Set TMOUT to 5 minutes (TMOUT=300) and go call
someone. Your login will be killed underneath you after 5 minutes. No
real hassle -- your terminal emulation continues properly. But it's wierd.
Lately (especially since the 3.51 upgrade) my pc has been hanging. It's
suspiciously close to times when uucico is firing up. A friend says there
is/was discussion of it under this newsgroup, but I've not seen any.
Help?
