Sorry, no, only the opposite: i'm using UUCP quite extensively, but haven't seen problems like this. (The remote site is running FreeBSD 2.1.0.) Are you sure your hardware handshake to the modem is okay? While this would not explain the difference between 2.1R and 2.1.5R, it would explain the difference between UUCP over modem and UUCP over TCP. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
