I use FreeBSD 2.0.5 as my news/mail feed; it receives a full USENET feed over uucp; and a pretty good bit of mail traffic. There are several types of machines connected to it via UUCP, at any time I've had as many as 3 Linux boxes talking to it with no trouble (one was getting a pretty full feed itself.) I did have troubles a year ago with the 'i' protocol to that particular Linux box; but we determined it was something wrong with Linux at his end (the 'i' worked well with Taylor UUCP running on a Sun, for example.) Also, the UUCP both FreeBSD and Linux uses (Taylor UUCP) is more than likely the exact same software; so I doubt the problem is there. I'd start looking into phone line problems; modem problems, etc... try lowering the connection speed and see if that improves things. Try using different modems, etc... Also, is this a direct dail-up connection to the Linux box, or is it going through a terminal server of some kind? [I've had problems in the past with Micom servers doing strange things.] Let me know if I can offer more precise help. - Dave Rivers -
