Greetings,

I'm trying to feed a DOS leaf-site.  He's using uuslave.exe
from ufgate 1.03.  I'm using (if it matters) SCO UNIX
3.2v2.0.

Everything works fine at 2400 bps, but using v.32, after a
few seconds (3 or 4) of data, his end (DOS) generates a
"received ALTCHN" message, and then everything stops.
Eventually there is a timeout and carrier is dropped.

Grepping through his exe file uncovers the message:

	 uucico: received a ALTCHN (I don't support it)

Can someone explain to me what ALTCHN is?  (Oh, and if
you're feeling real generous, you might suggest a way to fix
the problem :-)
