Hi,
I'm having trouble getting the GNU implimentation of UUCP working
on my Macintosh SE/30.
The config files are all set up according to the documentation.
The test mailing within my local host worked just fine.
When I went to actually dial the off site host this is what I
got:
gnuucp log on tty '' starting 10/19-21:50:29-57
- gnuucp (10/19-21:50:29-57) GNUUCP (Version Fort Pond Research-2.6)
Munge_filename input: Rmail.
Munge_filename output: Rmail.
Work prefix is ==
work_look readdir gnuucp.log
work_look readdir null
Opening outgoing line .A2400
Trying muun .A2400 0
dialing .A2400 at 2400 baud: ATV1DT 529-6114
Wrote: 41A 54T 56V 311 44D 54T 20 355 322 399 2d- 366 311 311 344 0d
After the last line the machine hung. When the modem was turned off the
control was returned and I could quit from Mac/uucp.
Does anyone have any idea what is going wrong? I'm at a loss.
Thanks in advance.

So, what's your point?

Almond mra@srchtec.uucp (registered) Michael, just because the Free Software Foundation doesn't support porting to Apple platforms does not mean people shouldn't do it! Like many of the more useful GNU tools, GNU uucp has been ported to the mac already. Copies of the binhexed binary and source can be found on Sumex (for those of you with FTP capabilities) or available via mail based servers from Rice (listserv@ricevm1.rice.edu) or UC Irvine (archive-server@ics.uci.edu). rus Disclaimer: Its only my opinion! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- UUCP: {decvax,pyramid,sequent}sun!sunne!ileaf!rus Rus Sheptak mit-eddie!ileaf!rus Interleaf, Inc.

I would like very much to make it a reliable easy to use method of sending internet mail from the Macintosh. I use it at home for all of my correspondence and have been doing so for at least 6 months now. We have a Mac/gnuucp mailing list and several people are working on enhancements to the code. Version 3.x will be available soon. Please direct questions and problems to jim@fpr.com Thanks

Sometimes I've seen the case where the serial driver will not send or receive data until one of the control lines (RTS? CTS? CD?) is held high. And I've seen modems that will do fine in command (AT...) mode, but as soon as you issue a dial command, if some control line is not held high, it will *drop* another control line -- perhaps the one that the serial driver is waiting for. I know, this sounds confusing, and it is. I'm sorry I can't offer any more hard details, but maybe this will get you somewhere. I don't remember if the GNU/Mac code turns on flow control in the serial driver, but if it does, perhaps it shouldn't.

Thanks, guy, for such a wonderful, helpful reply. I'm sure you helped Rob immensely.
