	These numbers tell you how many bytes (characters) were
transfered per second (cps).  The first one including protocoll
overhead (see below), the second without.  The third number gives
the ratio (i.e. 29% overhead, which is pretty much).

	Yep.  Though it only tells you the size of those packets, your
uucico sendt.  The size of received packets may be different.

>  What I need to know here is what the next two numbers (1304 8180) signify.

	The bytes sent/received at all, that is including those bytes
the protocoll adds.  g-protocoll transfers your data in packets with
headers which contain checksums.  It transfers packets (with no data)
to acknowledge packets.  It uses packets of certain sizes, so it sends
70 bytes for only three bytes of data in certain cases.  All these bytes
added by protocoll are included in these two numbers as well as in the
first cps number from above.  You have 1304 bytes sent, 8180 bytes
received during 1:00 minutes: 9484 bytes / 60 seconds = 158.  Voila :-)

>  The four numbers after that indicate

	Yep.

Subject: Need info on UUCP, amiganos, NNTP, etc
Date: 20 Aug 92 11:47:10 GMT
Organization: Florida Institute of Technology, Melbourne USA

I would like to set up usenet news feeds and e-mail on my BBS but
are not sure how to go about doing it.  I am temporarily running
ami-express, but may switch over to Tempest or DLG pro.  I would
like good BBS software that will be easy to run from sysop end
as well as enjoyable from the user standpoint.  What is NNTP and
amiganos?  I have heard of Dillons' UUCP.  What is the latest
version of it?  Where can I find these programs?  Which one
would you suggest?  I would like to possibly run it from a door.
I need to be able to have users post to usenet as well.  I am
basically new to the UUCP scene.  Any detailed info and FAQ
lists would be greatly appreciated.  Feel free to bombard me
with e-mail.  I am doing extensive research beforehand.  Also,
how do I go about getting a host to connect to?  I would like 
to keep the cost at zero, since I run a free BBS.  I am not 
going to start charging users.  I am aware of UUNET providing
a service at a cost.  I would like to utilize possibly the
University local to me (Florida Institute of Technology).  
All they have is a 2400 baud modem but I don't see any problem 
with connecting at 3am for 20 minutes or so.  Or maybe a
local business like Harris might have a benevolent system
administrator.  How would you recommend I seek out and approach
these potential givers of the news feeds?

Thanks.

Please e-mail all info to below address.

Translation:  Your administrator is lazy and doesn't want to be bothered with
setting up a uucp account.  With SLIP he's assuming that you would use
something NNTP to get news and thus he just adds your site name to an "ok to
export and import" list and he's done with it.  With uucp he has to set up
news batching software.  There is __NO__ way going SLIP is "easier".  In
fact, it will make things a lot slower since NNTP uses uncompressed transfers
while UUCP does compressed batches.

I hate to disagree, but it's probably not that simple. If you're doing
a newsfeed via NNTP, you still do batching, so none of that changes.
In fact, with cnews, the difference between setting up an NNTP feed, a
UUCP feed, and a feed to a pager (providing you have the right
software, of course :-) is changing a few words in a couple of
configuration files - _if_ you are already providing those feeds to
someone else.

Now, if he wants you to use an NNTP newsreader, then Christopher is
right - all it takes is adding your name to a file. But in that case,
you might as well just use a terminal emulator and dial in.

On the other hand, if the guy is not running UUCP already, then
setting up a UUCP feed involves him setting up a UUCP site where he
is. You're right - he's lazy. But I'm on his side; one everyday user
isn't justification for doing that kind of work, considering that
there are probably an uncountable number of things of similar
complexity that would make at least twice as many users happy.

A package designed for HAM radio called AmigaNOS provides the Amiga with
SLIP capablity, and with a bit of work can be made to work with AmigaUUCP
after a fashion. The main problem is that AmigaNOS stores news in a single
file (/alt/sys/amiga/uucp.txt for example) not the one-file-per-article
format that UUcp expects.

I am using rnews1.16 from Matt Dillon's uucp, and if there is not
enough memory to decompress the news batches, it will continually write
a message like "Unable to malloc() <whatever> bytes" to the logfile
until the disk is full. I was just wondering if anyone knows of a fixed

many many many thanks peoples :)

    Guys, I need to pass the buck... someone else is going to have to
    become the keeper of the source for AmigaUUCP.   The Commercial DICE
    release plus new projects relating to real-life work are eating up a
    lot of my time and I simply don't have any left over to work on

    Basically, I don't have time to even start munching on the billions of

    The big question is .... who wants it?  We need an official keeper to

... is now available for BMS at dejavu as bms:pub/node_report.lzh

This program generates node activity and traffic statistics for your UUCP
node.  It is designed to work with Matt Dillon's UUCP software, v1.15 or 
1.16.  It opens uuspool:timelog and reads it, compiling a report, listing 
various statistics for each node found in the timelog.  The report contains
mail header information (suitable for direct feed to sendmail) for 
'Postmaster' at each node for which statistics are found in the timelog.

The major change in this version is the addition of a feature suggested 
by Chris at miroc (image of me hitting myself in the forhead - why 
didn't I think of this?  I needed it...).

node_report now accepts a command line switch for a file path/name.  Any 
node found in this file (one per line, please) will NOT receive a copy of 
the report, however its statistics will be included in the reports 
received by the other nodes.  Any line beginning with '#' is interpreted 
as a comment line, that is, it is ignored.

Others have asked for the ability to generate the report covering only 
the last 7 days - I will work on this next.

   I just started using BMS so a little help in understanding what happens
during failed transfers would be appreciated.
 Having just purchased a CD-ROM I felt it would be nice to set up a BMS
site with the ab20 CD and possibly other CD's.  We presently have
everything set up and have succesfully transfered files between me and my
host (or would that be host and I:-)).  What I would like to do is have
multiple CD's available and then switch between them depending on what
file has been requested.  When a request comes in and asks for ex.

AB20:AMIGA/roadmap.

and I have a FredFish volume mounted (no AB20: mounted/inserted) the get
will fail and send back to the asking machine that the file not found 100%
complete.  Will the asking machine re-request at a later date?

   I was hoping, when a request comes in asking for ab20: that a requester
would come up asking me to insert ab20: or if ab20: is not found when I run
bms batch that it would wait a day or two so it may find ab20: before
timing out.  This would allow me to run bms batch as many times as I got
CD, ie.  I have two FF and ab20,  I insert one cd, run bms batch, insert
another cd and run bms batch again...  this way all requests may find the
proper disk/ file directory.  Then I would call my host and send out the
requested files.
   Also there is no mention of the author in the docs or BMS HELP so could
someone please forward the name/address of the author of BMS. 

P.S.  sorry if this happens to be rehashed news as I never followed BMS
news until now.

Better yet, how 'bout posting how you are getting this done?  I'd sure like
to know about it.  I know there is a new package called AXsh that allows
multiuser protection...but I'd like to know of some newsreaders that will
work over the modem for the Amiga.

Well, Matt, on behalf of myself and a hoard of other AmigaUUCP users:

	THANKS!

for the great work you've done with this system.  We appreciate it.  A lot

BTW, BMS was an inspired idea.  Thanks again.
