This is mostly a curiousity. In order to get a remote job finished, I plugged a 2nd Telebit modem in my 386.It works peachy. However, if I send a piece of mail to a big distribution list, all hell breaks loose. At least 8 uucico fire up, each for a different site, and they all attack the two modems. So the poor things go off hook, then hang up and again and again. After a few minutes the fighting dies down and uucico's all go away, leaving the modems quivering in the corner. Any ideas? Maybe a race condition on the lock files? SCO never thought of two modems? I never had any such excitement with one modem, even using the same mail list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Neal Rhodes MNOP Ltd (404)- 972-5430 President Lilburn (atlanta) GA 30247 Fax: 978-4741 emory!mnopltd!neal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I run multiple modems and have had them dialing diferent system at the same time. They're not telebits, but if you want to send me your I'll try it for you. For about a year or so... I had three modems on a HUB-6 card, but now I'm just running two standard serial ports and the SCO drivers. I may go back to the HUB-6 with FAS after I unsolder the USARTs and put in sockets for 16550s. -- bill davidsen - davidsen@sixhub.uucp (uunet!crdgw1!sixhub!davidsen) sysop *IX BBS and Public Access UNIX moderator of comp.binaries.ibm.pc and 80386 mailing list "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
