I would like to improve the efficiency of communications between this uucp system and its main news feed. Both systems have Telebit's and 2400 baud modems. Specifically, I would like to deliver mail to the feed via either modem, but limit news reception/delivery to only the Telebit. If I put entries for both modems in my Systems file, I may originate a 2400 baud connection to deliver some mail and wind up taking a large news feed when that connection turns around. The feed site does not appreciate this; however, if only mail is exchanged there is no problem. Needless to say, both of our Telebits are normally quite busy, thereby delaying mail deliveries. Is there a way to use the 2400 baud modems to only deliver mail? I have seen some suggestions (somewhere?) that mention using HDB grading; however, I can't find out how to use it. This (upgraded to 2.4) V/AT system did not have any specific HDB documentation. The two Nutshell books (about managing and using uucp) do not cover the grading issue either. -- Bob Thrush UUCP: uunet!tarpit!rd Automation Intelligence, 1200 W.
