I don't know what happened but basically my Boca died. In any case I just bought a USR Sportster 33.6k. It connects with my ISP just fine, but I am having a problem with hanging up. I am getting the following errors when it tries to use hang up: 11/29-15:43 wanted "OK" 11/29-15:43 got ??? "OOOOOOO???NO CARRIER??+++?ATH0ZS0=0" The MDM file I am using follows after my signature.

"OOOOOOO???NO CARRIER??+++?ATH0ZS0=0" I get something similar to that, but it's harmless. My modem defaults to numeric results instead of verbal (although I did it intentionally a long time ago and never switched it back). Therefore, when it hangs up, it sends a '0' instead of 'OK'. That's what is meant by the 'wanted "OK"' and the 'got ??? "0000000..."'. I'd suggest try changing the "OK" in the hangup script to "0" and see if that clears it up.

I will get to those requests in the next ~ 2 weeks, when I actually expect to have several days to work on UUPC/extended, both admin (including mail) and technically (anyone for a bug hunt?). Do not send me another COA or delete notice, I'll clean you next week; sorry for the delay. For the first time in several months, I have re-installed the UUPC/extended software on pandora.kew.com (aka kendra aka kewgate). Particularlly affected would be news processing, but mail processing may also be affected for mail. Report all problems to me at ahd@kew.com and/or 617-279-9812.

I've also found a POP server, OS2POPS that seems nice. What I would like to do is to use UUCP for getting/sending mail to the internet and then have a connection between the UUPC software and the OS2POPS server so that I could use a pop mailer like PMMail or Eudora on the clients. I've seen some utilities like, uupcsup.zip and UUPC2POP that seems to do something like this, but since I haven't got that much experience of mailerservers and UUCP I'd like to know if someone has a working UUCP<->POP<->Pop/SMTP client solution and could give some advices about what software/hardware I need. I've been looking on the Tenfour systems email gateway too, but I'd rather like a system that won't cost more when I add more users and also I'd prefer a POP-client instead of connecting the emailsystem to our Notes server. I'm sorry if this is an off-topic question in this mailinglist or if I'd offended annyone in anyway by posting this message without being 100% sure that I was posting to the correct mailinglist. Please let me now if I'm totaly wrong and if possible give me the right directions to where I should aim my questions...

But only up to the maximum length of the DOS command line, which is about 126 characters. This is a restriction imposed by DOS. I recently patched RMAIL 1.12p to allow passing a list of addresses via an environment variable (which has no length limitation). If anyone is interested in this version, it's part of ftp://ftp.wcape.school.za/pub/msdos/beta/uupln20b.zip (which I'd love to see Drew include in future versions; the patches have been submitted).

This is a restriction imposed by DOS. I I think he is using OS/2 and is limited to 512 characters. Yet, some unix systems limit it also to 512 characters.
