Should I try UUCP over TCP? Why 8am-5pm? Do you use the modem in your rotary at night? It depends on what is at the other end, but I have had a customer using uucp over tcp for the last 18 months. Works fine. You can change the 4hours if you like, too, to say 24 hours but it does not cover the weekends. Danny
