First off, THANKS for all the responses to the problem I posted concerning uucico not working properly. I have now become better educated in the workings of uucico protocols. The fix that seems to be working rather has been to replace the asy driver with the version from Jim Murray (jjm%jjmhome@m2c.m2c.org) that takes advantage of the 16550 UART already on my motherboard. (That part contains a FIFO for the stacking of incoming characters if the system doesn't respond fast enuf). The compiling and linking went well after changing a routine name and removing the space.c file in the pack.d/asy directory. I am now able to run at 9600 baud with no alarms from uucico. At 19200 baud, the actual xfer rate fluctuates from ~400 to 900 chars/sec and it looks like there are some problems still. But running at either speed does not cause the connection to fail which in itself is a big improvement. I have been informed by Interactive that they are working on an asy replacement that should fix the performance problems with uucp. Hopefully they will fix problems with uugetty as well. Again, thanks to all for there help!! John M. Haugen
