[comp.sys.next] UUCP mail problem -- more details

jiro@shaman.com (Jiro Nakamura) (06/04/91)

Many thanks to everyone who has helped so far. In the age-old tradition of
wasting net.bandwidth, here is the debugging script I get when I
call the other system. I've deleted the phone number and password so
that I can spare you the trouble of testing the connection for me. ;-)
   As you can tell from the script, I am calling a T2500 with a T2500.
We are both using UUCP g spoofing as can be seen from the CONNECT FAST/UUCP
in the log. That is what makes me very confused about the whole thing.
   For safety's sake, I have a P_ZERO at the beginning of the script. Nope,
it doesn't do anything. The ATZ2 resets my T2500 to my dial-out mode. It's
the exact same one I use to phone UUNET and everything goes fine, so I'm
pretty sure I don't have a parity problem on my end. I don't need to use
P_ZERO for UUNET or any of my other feeds. Stranger and stranger.
    Batcomputer is a major UUCP feeder for the Ithaca area. 
    I can't think of anything else. Oh yes, the test file is a simple mail
file to nobody@batcomputer.uucp with "Subject: Test", null message body. 
Nope, no hidden CONTROL-S's anywhere. :-( 

   Again, many thanks to everyone for their offers of help. So far I think
I am an isolated case. But neither NeXT Tech Support nor Batcomputer's 
sysadmin could help me..... I hope someone has a secret "oh but did you
try the #(@#$ flag?" :-)   
   Talking about flags, how do I test the connection using UUCP F protocol?
I want to see if things will work with that.
