On the workline request (always!) the control byte seemed to be missing. MT loops forever looking for a valid packet. The system I'm connecting to is an HP9000/825 HP-UX 2.1. This host moves about 3 MB of news a day over a Telebit T2500 plus makes other UUCP connections so I'm sure that the host end works properly :-) -- Bill Meahan | UUCP: uunet!mailrus!umich!pmsmam!wwm | snail: 128 Factory St., Ypsilanti, MI 48197 #include | voice: +1 313 484 9320 /* witty */ |packet: wa8tzg @ wa8ooh.mi.usa.na
