I need help setting up UUCP ....I've got the latest version from
the fish disks , Amiga UUCP 1.13D .
I've setup the node name and the username and also the system
I'm connection to name in the Config file ....
Setup the system name in L.Sys with the phone no and have tried several
time to call the remote system....
First I create a mail using DMail -O
dmail>mail [email protected] a message..exit
I find that this creates three files in the UUSpool directory.
one is a command file containing two lines , one containing the mail
and the third I'm not sure what it is but contains four lines with the
last line having rmail username....
Then I dial the remote system using UUCICO -x5 -xx -s'remotesystem'
I get a connection it looks for a file and the first file is seen
it says requesting that file ...it sits there for a minute or two..
then I get a message saying PROTOCOL ERROR and the first file is
echoed.
I've tried changing my speed of the modem (Penril V32) from 9600 to
2400...I even tried to change the preferences to be 9600 8 bit 1 stop
and no parity and no handshaking....
Is there any more I can do to find where the fault is..
Steve....

This is correct.

I don't know what the -x switches you are using do (I assume it has something
to do with your high modem rate). I use uucico -Snodename. Try stating
UUCICO -x5 -xx -d5 -sxxx. The "-d5" will enable debug mode and you'll see the
details behind the activity.

Unfortunately, this should be many things. Handshaking failure during the
data xfer, communication problem with your modem and theirs or Xon/Xoff.
File creation failure on the remote system perhaps. The debug mode should
reveal some info; I'd also ask your remote system sysop to look at their
logfile to see if perhaps more info is there.

It typically is:
8 bits
No parity
1 stop bit
Xon/Xoff
I'm still using V1.08 because it was so stable and didn't require DICE to
rebuild it. You may also want to examine the alt.amiga.uucp and
alt.amiga.uucp.patches newsgroups for information.

Thanks Keith But I have found the fault was due to my modem's
handshaking....the Penril has a command /Qx,x where x is the type of
handshaking dte-dce xon-x0ff none (/Q0,0)
I now get the completed message...
