Keywords: one way traffic? Message-ID: <251@comcon.UUCP> Date: 16 Jan 90 09:15:43 GMT Organization: Computer Connection - Anchorage, Alaska Lines: 31 I'm still in the testing stages with my UUCP link, and I'm having a strange bit of behaviour. For the time being, my site is carried as NEVER by the host I connect with. I do the polling from my side, and when I do, outgoing traffic travels easily along the way. However, I don't get any _incoming_ traffic, even though there is traffic for my site queued on the host. Examining the host uulog shows the connection when I poll, and any traffic received. It also shows the failed callouts ("WRONG TIME TO CALL") as uucp tries to deliver the queued material. I turned the debug up really loud on my side, and RTFM (Nutshell's Managing UUCP). Everything looks perfectly normal, and my side is terminating with 'H' and receiving 'HY' from the host. I had the host poll my site, with pending traffic in both directions, and both directions were delivered normally. This artifact only appears when I poll inward, and appears to be some behaviour on the part of the host. My site: Waffle 1.60 on a XT, 2400 bps link My host site: 386/ix How do I get the host to send pending traffic when I poll? (e-mail is ok... I can summarize later) -- _R_o_y _M_. _S_i_l_v_e_r_n_a_i_l | UUCP: uunet!comcon!roy | "Every race must arrive at this #include ;#define opinions MINE | point in its history" SnailMail: P.O.
