I am the person responsible for the "uucp155" file on Plains. I took Peter Housel's uupc for v1.3 and made it work on 1.5.5; it only required changing ioctl(2) calls and a few other small things. The ioctl interface hasn't changed significantly since then. I recall sending mail both directions and I think I sent files, too. Check out the host you're connecting to; sites running HoneyDanBer UUCP are quite paranoid. If the system that is sending to you has a /usr/lib/uucp/Systems (rather than a L.sys) file, then it's HDB. You'll have to change "Permissions" (in the uucp lib directory) for your system to say something like SENDFILES=yes otherwise that system will only recieve files when you call; it will only send when THEY call YOU. I believe Fred vanKempen's uucp is derived from Peter's port, also, and runs under 1.5.10. -- Glen Overby uunet!plains!overby (UUCP) overby@plains (Bitnet)
