[unix-pc.uucp] Uucp stuck waiting, OBM calling Trailblazer

randy@cctb.wa.com (Randy Orrison) (05/24/89)

I have a problem.  I'm trying to call two local systems with
trailblazers using my OBM, I've got expect-send sequences set up that
will get me logged in, the remote system is recognized, the protocol
negotiation goes ok, then my system sends an 'H' then gets stuck
waiting for the remote system to send an 'H' (or anything).  Uucico
hits a few alarms, then times out.  This is currently happening with
HDB, but it also happened a while ago with the stock UUCP.

I suspect that it's the way the remote trailblazers are set up, because
there is another local system that I call regularly that has a
trailblazer and I have no problems there, and I've talked to
trailblazers before when I was in Minnesota.

Does anyone have any suggestions about what could be done to correct
this situation?  Many thanks!

I must be that other site in Minnesota.  :-)

More than likely, the Trailblazer is set with it's interface speed
locked.  Do that, and you'll not likely talk to an OBM.  

There area other reasons, but it's too early in the morning... :-)
