Everything went fine (I think!). Except I could dial to the service provider. I believe this is due to the MDM file. I selected USRSPRT2.MDM during installation. This seems cause the system to dial continuously and also causes the modem to hand and I have to OFF/ON every time.

I am almost glad that I at least am not the only one that has this problem. So I will also post my (hopefully temporary) solution to it: I change the PATH to point to my backup dir of 1.12k before the 1.12r dir before calling uuxqt after calling uucico. So I have this in my uuio.btm: setlocal ... uucico %& set PATH=g:\uupc\bin\backup;%PATH% uuxqt || goto Cbreak expire || goto Cbreak ... endlocal It does give me some warnings about invalid option in uupc.rc, but I don't think they do nt real harm. If someone wants my complete uuio.btm, please mail me. If there are more than 5, I will post it to the list.

It is not supported, and will not be, because trying to reduce calls to multiple systems to a single return code loses too much information. If you need to know the exact failure, read the hostatus file. > 3. How we can change the g-packets size for sending and receiving > separately? The receiver ALWAYS specifies the packet size to receive, so change both sides as you desire to control each receiving end. -- Drew Derbyshire UUPC/extended e-mail: software@kew.com Telephone: 617-641-3452 To sign off from uupc-info, send the command "signoff uupc-info" in the body of a message to listserv@kew.com.

He incorrectly includes the trailing newline at the end of the command to send the file, and UUPC/extended incorrectly fails to ignore it and continue to the nil character after it. Tell the author of the other package to drop the trailing new lines out of commands he reads from files, and I'll work on the reading of commands. -ahd- -- Drew Derbyshire UUPC/extended e-mail: software@kew.com Telephone: 617-279-9712 "Beige.
