 I would like to hear about this too. I'm thinking of making my BBS a
Linux site but one of the stopping points (most of the others, like
Fidonet echoes, can be fixed now) is that my users call in and like to
download their mail in .QWK packets. I can't do that on a Linux (or any
other *nix system) it seems.

I've done some testing...here's what's happening...
alias1    | post newsgroup

mailing a message to the alias1 for some reason does like you say, and goes
to the weeds...  BUT,

aliases:
alias1    | post newsgroup

usenet:
newsgroup       /mod="alias1"

and posting to that group, answer Y to mail to moderator, works.  If the group
is a mailing list, then simply put the following in usenet:
newsgroup       /mod="mailing-list-address"

if, for some reason the mailing list does not send back your own messages,
then try: [Note this has not been tested by me, yet]

usenet:   
newsgroup       /mod="alias1"

aliases:
alias1          post-alias submit-alias
submit-alias    mailing-list-address
post-alias      | post newsgroup

In theory this should work.  Now, to put messages  in the newsgroup,
POST to that newsgroup instead of mailing to the alias.  It works much
better for me at least.

Thats what we DONT want to have to do. If you really wanna get kludgey
about it, just REMEMBER WHAT YOU POSTED instead of wanting to read it,
and then there's no problem. :) (Note using this method, you dont need
to remember the headers, since waffle seems to like that part of the

If it is set up right, then the phones roll over on busy AND no answer after 
x number of rings.   If there is a dead node, then as long as the modem does
not answer it should roll over, but it'll just ring a few times longer.

As a US Domain Coordinator and Area Registrar, my experience is that
an MX record will go live within about 36 hours. The only exception
I've seen was due to the Admin of the system holding the MX record
go on vacation. That slowed it up --until he returned.

Of course, I have to ask why your address has the appearance it does.
The holder of your MX record should be set up so that you can give
jon@vector0.sac.ca.us as an address with no problems.

This should be the only one you need.

Donal does indeed have a problem: a loop.

The mail that goes to wfs-list@Birdsong.Suvl.CA.US goes into WFS
2.0.0 (experimental) as input to the mailing list server.  It goes
back out as mail to wfs-list@brewich.hou.tx.us (and others) which
gets posted to donal's newsgroup, which gets mailed to... A big loop!

This does not really work.

Regards,
  larry.

Well, what is it exactly that you're doing to get this to work so well
for you? What could be different? I have like just over 300K free when I
do MEMORY in waffle. It cant be that. And my aliases are setup as:

~\system\aliases
list-post   | post local.list
list        + \waf\system\lisalias

~\system\lisalias
address1@place
a2@p2
etc@etc
list-post

Whats you're entry in your usenet file for the group? I have /type=local
in there for mine.

you need to tell your editors file in the EXTERN directory at kind of editor

Maybe this is why I am not having the problem that everyone else is having.

In aliases I have 
    wfs-list | post list.wfs 
and in feeds I have
    wfsout /local /batch=mail list.wfs
then in lobpoll.bat which polls my smarthost I have
    batch -swfsout -mwfs-list@birdsong.suvl.ca.us
and everything works just fine! I post to list.wfs, it goes out to 
wfs-list@birdsong.suvl.ca.us, he sends email to 
wfs-list@brewich.hou.tx.us and it gets posted to list.wfs.

What is everyone's problem, huh???

Let's back up to your apparent assumed question; this other site is running
Fidonet software and wants to connect to you (a Usenet site) running
Waffle.

This can be done in several ways, most just "patches" (till now - more in
a minute...)  UFGate is a gateway package written for Fidonet sites, and
it works relatively well in most cases, but is not easy to use.  It connects
just fine to a Waffle site - I have one person who used to connect to
me using UFGate.  To use UFGate WITH Waffle requires some sleight-of-hand -
which I have not experienced.....

There is also FredGate, but in that case you have to know which parts to use
and which parts to throw out; it also was written to use Waffle's UUCICO
program (*only!*) with Fidonet software.

My gateway software, Erin (mail) and Amanda (news) are designed to work with
Waffle from the ground up.  All parameters are either in the static file or
the feeds file.  I tried to make it as flexible as possible; you may like
it!

One caveat: it is still in beta; so it could break.  But I've done everything
I can to avoid that.  If you want to give it a try, why not send a message
to list-server@ruth.uucp with 'subscribe amanda-l' in the message body
and you should be set to receive amanda news and new versions...

This may be a naive question, but how can you have more than one modem
work at once? I mean, don't the odd & even number ports share the same
interrupts? And I image that most multi-user bases aren't running DOS,
so how does one accomplish that under Unix? What kind of modems would
suffice? 

Just curious...

First; this is a Xenix box, so there propably is some differences.
Double check that you're NOT using MNP5 compression. as I recall, MNP4 is
usable as error correction.
I have a site that polls me using the 14k4 HST protocol w v42bis compression.
The cps rates are around 1680 bps with 16-bit compressed news packets.
This is with 7 windows and packet size 1024.
Also, Waffle does not automatically negotiate the packet size, so the remote
end must be configured to use larger packets as well. Unfortunately Waffle
and Taylor UUCP have large packets implemented differently, so they work
together only using short packets.
Have you checked your logs that there really has been changes in the packet
size? (It's the INITB handshake, INITB 1 means 64 byte packets)

Well, that is all the info I have that appears to be relevant,
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Actually, at the risk of being really unethical, I suggest try mailing
to postmaster@zooid.guild.org, seems he's running unix and has a QWK

same. Use at your own risk. Dont tell him I sent you lest he's swamped
with mail.
