Hello, I'm trying to setup a uucp connection for Esix Rev. D. I have a site that let's me feed and I followed the uucp installation instructions. However when I use Uutry to check the connection it fails at the login. Now this could likely be a problem with the feed site, but in general does anyone have any friendly advice as to what one should watch for when using Esix's UUCP? Any comments or suggestions are very much appreciated. Would anyone mind sharing their Dialers, Devices, Systems setup for a typical dial-up UUCP feeder? Also, I understand that Esix has problems running at 9600 baud and that FAS will solve it. My questions is: Where can I get FAS from Esix Rev. D from (ftp would be great). Thanks, ...Martin Martin Schedlbauer (mschedlb@ulowell.edu) Institute for Visualization and Perception Research Department of Computer Science University of Lowell, Lowell, MA 01854 (Tel: (508) 934-3612)

I was able to set up UUCP to Wang in Lowell, MA (thanks to Tom). The reason why my modem (a hayes Smartmodem 9600 V.42) would not receive anything was that it thought it connected with MNP-5 while the other modem was plain V.22 2400 baud. Including the &Q0 Hayes command to force async communication solved the problem. It also seems to be the case that Esix has no real need for FAS as long as I have 16550 UARTS (not WD kind :). Since I'm communicating at 2400 baud only for now that's not a problem anymore.

My questions is: Where can I get FAS from Esix Rev. D >from (ftp would be great). I don't know where you heard that Esix has problems running at 9600 baud. There is some Esix-bashing going on and I think it is unjustified. Anyway, I don't think this shows that Esix is having trouble at 9600 baud: Remote K-Bytes K-Bytes K-Bytes Hours Hours AvCPS AvCPS # # SiteName Recv Xmit Total Recv Xmit Recv Xmit Recv Xmit -------- --------- --------- --------- ------ ------ ----- ----- ---- ---- world 7954.888 170.018 8124.906 1.73 0.03 1278 1667 310 174 Do you? I am running Esix Rev D on a 386/25, 300meg SCSI disk, 8mb ram, Adaptec 1542b SCSI host adapter, Telebit Trailblazer (and HST, etc) modems, a generic 2-port serial card, and an AST 4-port (dumb) card. I don't have a 16550 installed (yet), and am using the stock Esix asy driver. The one thing I will say is that with a dumb serial card, there IS a significant load placed on the system when doing high-speed transfers. bill -- home: ...!{uunet,bloom-beacon,esegue}!world!unixland!bill bill@unixland.uucp Public Access Unix - Esix SYSVR3 508-655-3848(12/24) 508-651-8723(12/24/96-HST) 508-651-8733(12/24/96-PEP-V32) other: heiser@world.std.com

I also don't know where you get the 9600 baud limit... I am running ESIX Rev.D on a 386/25, with the slower 16440 UARTS. One of the terminals connected to it runs at 38400baud without a problem. Clearly, this is faster than 9600. When using TELIX (on the 286 terminal) and sz on the UNIX end I get transfer rates of 3600 cps. What is this FAS thing anyway?? David Kessner kessner!david@csn.org

FAS isn't absolutely necessary for ESIX, since the ESIX driver works fine at high speeds, handles the 16550, has hardware flow control, and handles bidirectional modem access correctly. But FAS has two benefits over the ESIX driver: it uses less CPU time, and it supports a non-blocking dial-out device with modem control. The latter will cause a dial-out program to get SIGHUP when carrier is lost. -- John W. Temples -- john@jwt.UUCP (uunet!jwt!john)
