I went back to the 1.12k UUCICO to get rid of all the packet errors (uucp-g/v). 1.12p transmits under SOME circumstances, 1.12k transmits under ALL circumstances. hajo -- ----[Hans-Joachim Zierke ]---------------------------------------------- [Rathenower Straße 23 ] [D-10559 Berlin-Moabit] hajo@quijote.in-berlin.de [ +49-30 / 394 84 45] ----[Fax:(0)30 / 394 84 47]---------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Jul 1996 11:33:04 GMT0 From: ursr@rau.omico.om.org Subject: uubatch betatesters To: UUPC/Extended mailing list Hello John, > Date: Tue, 23 Jul 1996 13:02:04 +0200 (MET DST) > From: plate@infotek.dk (John Plate) > Subject: Wanted: UUBATCH beta testers > To: UUPC/Extended mailing list > > Hello > I've ported the UUBATCH system to UUPC/Extented running under > DOS.

GOOD, I have been waiting for this to happen for a long time. Please count me in to the "betatesters". Is your port another name for BSMTP? Or is it totally different? Did you consider using the more widely used BSMTP. ( I guess the only difference might be that it coudl prove more difficult to find an ISP willing to support a "new" protocol - but they are sometimes willing to use something which comes with an established name - like BSMTP) > BTW, I'm also working on a port to Taylor UUCP (Taylor > configuration).

I used to have a adaptation of UUCICO 1.12k for Waffle, but there were some major problems with it: When the remote UUCICO stopped sending for a few seconds, my UUCICO 1.12k wouldn't start receiving again, but rather stay online (costing me lots of $$$) and act like deaf. :-( Crash recovery didn't work, either.

Why that? Batching exists since 10 years or so. It's called (g)bsmtp, and instead of reinventing the wheel, just look at all the existing implementations. I use UUCP transport since three years, and I never used rmail. (Okay, for some UUPC tests.)
