I've been having some problems trying to get UUCP to work over a network that strips the high bit off all the characters that go through it. I have been led to believe that the G protocol is the 8 bit protocol while the F protocol is the 7 bit protocol. Is there any way to tell UUCICO to use only one protocol over the others? Any help would be appreciated! Joe E. Powell

Any help would be appreciated! 1) How to select protocols. You can do this by putting this sort of line in Devices: Fslan,eg starlan - - STARLAN or this one in Systems: foo Any STARLAN,eg - foo Note that ther protocolas are ordered, using ",ge" will use g *over* e. 2) f vs g protocol g requires an 8-bit clear datapath. f was designed to work over a 7-bit XON/XOFF flow-controlled datapath. Unfortunately, protocol f is not supported in any AT&T versions of UUCP which I am aware of. -- Jonathan Clark jonathan.clark@mtune.att.com, attmail!jonathan Any affiliation is given for identification purposes only.
