Has anyone ever tried to run uucp through modems attached to a LAT (DECserver 200) box? If so, I'd appreciate hearing your experience. We are thinking about trying this arrangement for our news/uucp machine. If it will work, it would be a relatively inexpensive way to go. We know we can dedicate LAT ports to link modems directly to serial ports. This means that uucp won't have to jump through any extra hoops, but I'm concerned about reliability and performance compared to direct serial ports. I'm also aware that a LAT box will be subject to the vagaries of whatever network it is attached to. Please email me, as I don't normally read these groups. I'll post a summary of interesting replies. Thanks in advance!
