I'm supposed to call from a Solaris 2.4 (HDB UUCP), so I'm stuck to protocol "g". The BSD machine reported all kind of checksum errors, ending the transfer after 10mn (for a single remote command!). I tried to recompile UUCP 1.06.1, and ended having two BSD machines, using both the same uucico binary, and still gets the checksum errors on each "g" protocol packet. The link between the two machines is clear. It's a null modem of 3 meters. I dropped the speed to 9600 to be sure that my 16550 would have zero pbms. When I log in manually using cu, I have 0 problem. No characters lost, no garbage, even at full blast (cat of large text files). So, the line is clear. So, in short: The line is OK The ports are OK (and cs8 while talking, I've checked) The binaries are the same yet, the 'g' protocol fails (same checksum errors reported from the Solaris machine) (and yes, I've checked 'i'. Doesn't work either) Any idea of what could go wrong? Pointer for future investigation? -- Vincent ARCHER -=-=- Herve Schauer Consultants -=-=- archer@hsc.fr Tel: +33 1 46388990 Fax: +33 1 46380505
