We have been experiencing a problem with a uucp link between two local
machines. Vital statistics follow:
Machine 1 Machine 2
--------- ----------
AT&T 8386 WGS IBM PS/2 Model 80
6 Mb 8 Mb
Xenix 2.3.2 Xenix 2.3.2
Com/xi 8 port DigiBoard 2 MC/Xi 8 port DigiBoards
Driver Rev 4.3.0 Driver Rev 4.6.0
They are set up DigiBoard to DigiBoard with a null-modem cable. 19200
Baud. The AT&T box polls the PS/2.
Most of the time, everything works fine ( It polls twice an hour ).
However, occasionally the link goes dead and on the PS/2 console we
get the message:
"getty on ttyi1c keeps dying... there may be a problem."
Both Digiboards check out fine. If you hang a terminal off the suspect
port, everything works fine.
Has anyone ever experienced a similar problem?
Thanks in advance to anyone with any info.
