I have manually repeat the call, instead of having some >loop structure, since I've got no idea if UUCICO plays with return codes. Why not do what I have done. I use dcron to kick off that script I showed you a couple of times an hour for the sites I call on a regular basis. Sometimes it connects other times it does not. In addition to that script I have encapsulated my terminal programs in scripts as well which set up the uucp.lck lock so that uucp does not trash a login session. Hopefully that will not be required once I get a copy of Handshake 2.2 since I have a T2500 and a 2400 baud modem on two seperate ports on the A2232. The current version of Handshake must open the serial.device in exclusive mode and does not allow uucico to open it. Eventually I will change the script posted here to use lock files for each specific port. Could even be changed to attempt calling on one port and if that did not work it would try the other one. > >Thanks for listening. > >Dac -- _ /// /_\ Scot L.
