We suddenly started getting quite a few "SIGNAL 1" failures on UUCP transfers. One last night was accompanied by the following message in the log. Can someone tell me what it means? root wpg (10/18-04:00-11903) I/O error (PKXSTART write failed) We are using the BSD universe UUCP on a Pyramid 9815 with OSx4.4c. Mark

We are using the BSD universe UUCP... with OSx4.4c. That can mean only one thing: your modems are hanging up in the middle of the connection. Suspect a bad modem, or somebody messed with your telephone lines. <csg>

Suspect a bad modem, or somebody messed with your telephone lines. Or bad flow control. I had a Tbit T1000 set to use Xon/Xoff both ways between the computer and modem; UUCP would send ^S as part of the protocol and the modem would dutifully shut up waiting for the ^Q that never came. This was only happening at slow speeds, which is why it took me a week to figure it out... Kenneth Herron
