	Yes, but that is where CTS/RTS handshaking come in.  You
must specify a -7 with UUCICO for 7Wire Handshaking.  There really
shouldn't be a problem.  If that were the case we would be having
cows and possibly entire farms downloading at 14,400 Baud using
ZModem or for that matter Xmodem or Ymodem.

	My Computer runs in Hires, 8 Color with a DTE Rate of
38,400.  I feel that the Advantage gained by setting the Comm at
57,600 would be minimal at best.  The baud Rate to justify that
would be 240,000 baud in my Opinion.  So setting the Comm at 38,400
is fine.  As for being sure if I am getting every single bit, I
would think so.  My System is running on a 40MHz 030 with 4 Megs of
32 Bit Ram so there are no Ram Bottlenecks.

	The protocol I am more interested in would be an
implemintation of the 'f' protocol.  This is a Protocol supported
by my main Feed UUNET.  Although I am not even sure this would be
such a great protocol from the description given in a Doc file I
found on UUNET.  What about this mysterious 'h' Protocol?  And what
is this'z' protocol I have heard about?  Are there others, besides
us who use Amiga UUCP who are trying to update the protocols?
The Description of the 'f' protocol I have is as follows:
 
================
From: UUCP-f
Subject: What is the 'f' protocol?

The 'f' protocol is a seven bit protocol which checksums an entire
file at a time.  It only uses the characters between \040 and \176
(ASCII space and ~) inclusive as well as the carriage return
character.  It can be very efficient for transferring text only data,
but it is very inefficient at transferring eight bit data (such as
compressed news).  It is not flow controlled, and the checksum is
fairly insecure over large files, so using it over a serial
connection requires handshaking (XON/XOFF can be used) and error correcting
modems.  Some people think it should not be used even under those
circumstances.

===============

	What I want is a protocol as effecient and secure as
Zmodem that has a chance of being supported by other Systems
besides the Amiga.

Oops. I get about 1580-1600 cps (average) with my Supra V.32bis/V.42bis

Yes, no problems so far. I call uucico with -7 (is a MUST for RTS/CTS) and
have the serial port locked at 57600. Essentially is, that you have set the
size of the serial-buffer in WB-prefs not over 16kB!! That may cause
errors.

I've seen something similar. Portions of UUCICO do not properly handle a
protocol failure. Sometimes, UUCICO gives up. The problem is, it doesn't
correctly release the modem.

I've minimized occurences of my similar problem by adding '-d0' to my UUCICO
parameter string.

No - it *was* connected, online, in contact.  

I know it's connected because:

a) My modem shows that I'm On Hook.
b) Data is being sent and receieved (sent as in a checksum, or whatever)
c) A lastlog on my host showed that Utony (my uucp account) was on for 10
   hours (though, like I said, the uucp stats weren't registered for some
   reason on my host).

I've had a response in email that says the same 7 packets are being sent
over and over again for this person.  At least I know I'm not the only one
this is happening to.

Hi Guys,

I am very pleased to announce that UUCP1.16D coupled to GRn 1.16e
and AVM 1.3.2 functions on an A4000 without needing modification.
I just backup up my UUCP: dir of my A2500  and restored it on the
A4000. After changing reference from DH0: to HD0: (Don't you just
love new standards) all went without a hitch... A big hand to the
guys behind the above programs for adhering to standards and thus
making life easy for us. :-)  

CYa, Paul

Well, I wouldn't try to debate on the correctness of it or not, but it is
documented (see UUMan:Domains) to work that way.

Well, this would be a bug. Are you sure you used an MD record and not a MF

timami.on.ca MD UU mail.forwarder.fqdn

should work.

This will disable data compression, also you can put other commands in
like M0 to turn the speaker off. 
This is what I use and I get 1000cps average on a locked 9600 call
with V42 error correction and no compression.

    It's a feature. :) Carlos is probably masking the Message-ID:

	No, none at all actually.  I set both Getty and UUCICO for
a Modem to Computer lock of 38,400 Baud.  I don't think setting the
lock at 57,600 would help much more than 38,400.

	What Hard Drive controller are you using?  There are some
Problems with SCSI Drives and High Speed Modems.  I have a program
that may help you.  The problem lies in the fact that your CPU may
not be fast enough and that there is some sort of Difficulty while
accessing some SCSI Drives when engaged with a High Speed
Connection.

	I have no problems while doing multiple things at the same
time.  I am Running at 40Mhz using a 030.  Crap outs are not common
place here. :-)

	What system are you using to run Amiga UUCP?  I have never
had problems even with Zmodem Transfer when I was using my
Adide/AdSpeed board.  I was not using SCSI at the time, I was using
an IDE which is immune to the High Speed glitch.  Even with a 14MHz
CPU, I was running a 4 Color Workbench and various other utilities
and never had such trouble.

Hello Mark

Unix Tin will correctly mail articles/threads to the selcted user
and create the appropriate files in UUSPOOL:

Tin for the Amiga assumes the recipient is a local user and creates a
mailbox for that user - no files in UUSPOOL: are produced. In order
to send articles etc to this person the mailbox must be edited and the
file sent manually. Has correct functionaility been removed to support
DLG, if so how about 2 versions of Amiga TIN, one that mimics the Unix
version as closely as possible and one that is tailored for DLG
users.

If you are running AmigaUUCP you don't have to deal with the AXsh-Server
program at all.  Getty will answer the phone for you.  You add a passwd
entry to your passwd file for BBS (which is included in the demo).  When
you login to getty, you then type in "bbs" at the first prompt and then
AXsh will be run.  This works fine for me.  You only need to run the
server if you don't run getty to answer the phone.

The passwd entry as well as the startup script are located in AXsh:etc
under the following names:

UUCP-passwd-entry
UUCP-startup2.0

You don't have to muck around with the /etc/rc.server file at all
because you don't even use it for connections.  Just put a little line
in your uulib:Getty-Header file that says "Type "bbs" to login to the
bbs" so that other users know what to do to enter the AXsh system.
