For those that don't know, uupc uses the 'g' protocol which requires an 8 bit clean connection. The chat script went just fine, but when it came time to transfer data, the remote pc would error out with bad packet header problems. I talked with ccMail, they said my connection wasn't 8 bit clean. So I went and did my homework on minnie, and found out about the :np: flag. Added it to gettytab and everything worked great, I was able to recieve uucp transfers, but whenever I had to send data the remote machine, it would go into slave mode: sbreak: putting server in slave mode which then resulted in the same packet header errors. I guessed that the port was being set back to the defaults. Then I decided to modify ttydefaults.h by removing ISTRIP, PARENB, and changing CS7 to CS8. After recompiling and installing getty, login, and all the software from src/gnu, I still have the problem. What do I need to do to make my system 8N1 and only 8N1? -- Jonathan O'Brien obrien@hulk.sfsu.edu San Francisco State University obrien@sfsuvax1.sfsu.edu
