Does anyone know of some way of extending the timeout for the remote
carrier in the UNIXpc version of HoneyDanBer UUCP? I'm calling a
system that has a Telebit T2500 with v.42 which presents its PEP
tones at the end of its sequence. My T2500 almost always times out
just a second or two before the PEP tones would have been presented,
which has forced me to fall back to a v.32 connection, which I find
to be only about 1/3 the speed on average (~500 baud for v.32, vs.
~1400 baud for a PEP connection).
Any ideas??

Dashes's in the number indicate a 4 second pause before dialing the next digit. The system will just consider the dashes part of the number, so while the computer thinks it's waiting to dial some more, the call will be going through. Alternatively, in the chat script (or dialers entry) you may add '\p' to delay for .25 to .5 seconds or '/d' to delay for about 2 seconds.

I found that by using commas (,) at the end of the phone number you could
force uucico to wait a little longer for valid carrier detect. This was
especially necessary with the old UUNET Telebit set-up. If this doesn't
work, short of a uucico source hack, you might try adding '\d' delays
in the chat script. Hope this helps. Good Luck!

You ask about HDB timeouts but you say the T2500 times out. To borrow from Garrett Morris: HDB? I dunno. T2500 been berry, berry, good to me. >Any ideas?? I had the same problem until I changed register s7 on the Telebit. On PEP dialouts, I set s7=60. The default for s7 (wait for carrier timeout) is 40 (seconds) for enhanced and 30 for conventional. If your problem is in HDB, (shrug) I dunno. -- Jan Isley jan@bagend {known universe}!gatech!bagend!jan (404)434-1335

I use the \d token in the Systems file expect-send chat string. Make the first expect "", then send 22 \d as the first send. Do the rest of the chat handshaking as usual for logging in. Our modem lines are just pulse dial because we are cheapskates, and 44 seconds seems to be plenty of time to pulse dial a long distance number, wait for the connect, then sit through the delay while the other modem monkeys around with v.22 and v.32 before getting to sending the PEP preamble. One could also delay in the Dialers file chat, but I like having a basic Dialer, then adjusting the wait time on a System by System basis. ==Bill== -- Bill Mayhew NEOUCOM Computer Services Department Rootstown, OH 44272-9995 USA phone: 216-325-2511 wtm@uhura.neoucom.edu ....!uunet!aablue!neoucom!wtm via internet: (140.220.001.001)

It's real easy in *any* version of the HDB-UUCP version of the BNU. Here's what we do to over-come the excessive wait sometimes imposed by our "phone-system" for connecting long-distance calls: hayesne =,-, "" \M\p\r\pAT\r\c OK\r ATS7=60\r\c OK\r ATDT\T\r\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\c CONNECT \m\c (For anyone who's news transport system munged the previous line, well, it contains a series of '\d's, and then a '\c', immediately after the "ATDT\T\r".) S7 tells the Hayes (clone) modem to wait 60 seconds for carrier. The '\d's are 2 second delays each. (A '\p' is only a 1/4-1/2 second pause.) -- Greg A.
