I have been hacking on AmigaUUCP+ for about a week and finally have it pretty much working. The only real problem that I need some help with is UUCICO. When I use UUCICO -ssystem, it dials up and then gets hung at some point. After UUCICO times out and returns back to AmigaDos, I then run a term program because the modem remains connected. And I see that the system I dialed out to is expecting a password (i.e. password: prompt is there). Now when I do UUCICO -ssystem -x999, I get lots of debugging messages printed out and it works. If I do -x5, it doesn't. My feed doesn't want me to use -x999 because it causes his logfile to get filled up more than necessary. Anyone else out there have this problem and fix it? Anyone out there know what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance for the help. mykes

You could try adding a delay (\d) after the userID - maybe you're sending things before the remote system wants it? Also, is your "wait for password" entry correct? Remember, upper case and lower case are _not_ treated as the same under UUCICO. >My feed doesn't >want me to use -x999 because it causes his logfile to get filled up >more than necessary. It'll also _really_ slow you down - which indicates that this is a timing problem. However, if you can't fix it any other way, try -X999 - the capital letter means "don't tell the remote system I'm in debug mode." You'll get the slowdown :-p without filling up his logfile. >Anyone out there know what I am doing wrong? Getting a good, reliable L.sys entry can be a problem. It was really problematic under 1.05D (which I'm still running! Can't wait for V1.08 :-) ) if the remote system doesn't send _exactly_ the same thing every time. Tinker with timing things for a while, trial and error, using -X9 (btw, level nine should be the same as level 999, shouldn't it?) and watching what gets sent and when it starts losing track of where it should be. - R'ykandar. -- R'ykandar Korra'ti | Editor, LOW ORBIT Science and Fiction "I hate you, you timepiece from Hades." - Plucky Duck phoenix@ms.uky.edu | editor@lorbit.UUCP | ukma!lorbit!editor
