I'm trying to connect two FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE machines via UUCP over a null modem cable. (For various political reasons, SLIP/PPP isn't an option.) Things basically work except I can't transfer anything but very small files. Large files cause too many protocol errors. For example: uucico pcx - (1996-03-26 14:15:49.01 1062) ERROR: Too many 'i' protocol error s uucico pcx - (1996-03-26 14:15:49.01 1062) Protocol 'i' packets: sent 2, rese nt 0, received 100 uucico pcx - (1996-03-26 14:15:49.01 1062) Errors: header 196, checksum 207, order 8, remote rejects 0 uucico pcx - (1996-03-26 14:15:49.55 1062) ERROR: Got hangup signal uucico pcx - (1996-03-26 14:15:49.55 1062) Call complete (32 seconds 56832 by tes 1776 bps) I'm assuming this is some sort of flow control problem with UUCP because I can connect with kermit and transfer an 800K file without any problems at baud rates up to 57600. Both PCs are ASUS P55TP4N P133s with 16550 UARTS. stty flags include: hupcl clocal crtscts and I have set dtrwait 0 drainwait 180 with comcontrol on each serial device. I assume I'm not understanding something about UUCP. I looked through the /usr/src/gnu/libexec/uucp/doc/uucp.texi file but didn't see anything that might help. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Phil Gilley pgilley@metronet.com
