I have found that the ONLY reliable way to achieve 9600bps comms using uucico is to drop out of 68030 mode entirely. I've had uucico stuff up on me too many times at 9600 to make it 'an odd occurence'. Turning off the cache's and burst mode helps a little, but I still got uucico aborting the transfer in 68030 mode. Normally, talking to BBS's at 9600 and doing Zmodem transfers, I don't have ANY problems. I'm not overly willing to point an accusing finger at any program, or any person, but something is definately strange with AmigaUUCP running on a 68030 machine. > (there is a UUnetwork poping up here in Australia and some > of the Admins are working on such a proposel slowly.) That sounds interesting. Especially Zmodem over normal uucico. > James Gardiner [Hunter]. System Admin, Public Access UNIX Melbourne, Australia Dac -- _l _ _ // Andrew Clayton. Canberra, Australia.
