Take note that I have nothing to do with them, I am just a happy user. I just installed Changi 1.0 for OS/2. It is a NNTP server which works very good with UUPC/Extended (OS/2). It offers several afvantages, better expiring, finally able to post to moderated groups and being able to choose any newsreader you like. Beware though that UUPC/Extended for some reason uses a strange format of the active file.

That is a heavyweight mess. If you are using a FOSSIL, there's a 683 byte utility I put in my batch file to reset the modem just before invoking uucico. It would just as easily disable call waiting (the lightweight mess). This method is not as nice as what you've been trying (and what I use on some of my computers) because it does not disable the retries made by uucico itself, and requires that you handle that with batch file steps. You may also need to disable your modem's voice detection in that dialing string so the voice response detector does not abort the process. Dumb down the modem until it listens to your commands. -- Chuck Cole St Paul, Minnesota My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way. - Ernest Hemingway ------------------------------ Date: 25 Jan 97 23:46:22 +0100 From: jpk@itc.or.at Subject: Lines starting with ~ To: UUPC/Extended mailing list Hi Drew! 18 Jan 97 uupcinfo@kew.com: >> I'm not able to send Mails which contain lines starting with '~' >> using uucico 1.12r under OS/2; is this considered a bug or a known >> limitation? u> Read the MAIL manual page for what tilde (~) does, including the use u> of double tilde (~~).

To: UUPC/Extended mailing list Is there any chance that someone has compiled a version of uucico to use win95's TAPI (telephony API) so that it will share the modem port with other win95 applications? I have a speaker phone/caller id/voice mail/etc. application that I leave running all the time. When uucico sees this app running on the modem port, uucico gives up. Win95 Dial Up Networking (PPP) on the other hand, negotiates for use of the modem port via TAPI. Also, is there a good cron available for win95? I want to poll actively once an hour, with additional calls on the quarter hour when work is queued. This would easy with two crontab entries, but I have no cron.

You should be able to do this with the UUPOLL program that comes with UUPC. Does Win95 have the "at" command? This command on NT lets you do the same sort of thing. On my NT box I use the "at" command to set up periodic jobs that do exactly what you want.

Here's an update: Dave Watt (N1HMB) mentioned that someone has already done a version of uucico.exe which dials via TAPI, but I don't know who or where this code can be found. I'm about to repeat the effort unless I hear otherwise. (The source compiles nicely under MS VC++ 4.0. Thanks, Dave). I found a nice TAPI programming example (a C++ CTapiConnection wrapper class) at http://www.microsoft.com/WIN32DEV/NETWRK/CTAPIC.HTM which I would build upon. I have still not located an adequate cron program. It was suggested that I can accomplish what I want to do with uupoll, but I think the conditional stuff (once per hour, _plus_ every quarter hour if there's work to send) would require another program "touching" a file in the spool directory hourly. This, again, would need a cron. MS System Agent may fill the bill, but wasn't included in the software bundled with my system, so I don't have it (yet?). I'd like some feedback on what others are doing. I am concerned by the low volume of traffic on this list and the rather old modification dates on the source files that uupc may be a dormant product. Have people shifted to other, newer uucp transport packages? Apparently a lot of you are running OS2. Are there other win32 users out there? The other major candidate seems to be MailCoach, but the latest version still produces fatal errors on my system. Some have said it is quite stable... maybe I should reconsider it. I _do_ like the idea of having source, though.
