Really annoying... > Chris Cebelenski UUCP: portal.com!gdc!aminet!czaeap!cpc I have seen this problem also. amigash calls out to 3 or 4 systems on a regular basis and the one that is my main news feed quite often goes for a couple of hours (last night I received about 4 megs worth of stuff). Anyway, I finally got tired of the hanging problems and wrote a script that has helped a LOT. Here it is: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .KEY system/a,serunit/a if not exists t:uucp.lck copy s:uucp.lck t: uucp:c/uucico -U -s delete t:uucp.lck endif ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I threw in the unit number as I have an A2232 board and two modems. The Telebit is set to always call out using PEP but I have one system I call occasionally that only has a 2400 baud modem. This allows me to call all the systems I have to with out mucking with the default serial port setting in preferences. -- _ /// /_\ Scot L.
