Incomm MNP5 modem Problem: I'm unable to successfully transfer data via uucp between this machine and another machine (386 running Xenix (HDB uucp). I can connect via tip or cu and get an interactive login going just fine. I can also connect with a 286 running Xenix (HDB) and a 2/120 running SunOS 3.5 (V3 uucp). With both the 286 and the 2/120 uucp will run and transfer data for hours on end without a hitch. This is using this same Incomm MNP5 modem and the same phone line. The 3/160, however, is able to log in, but then immediately fails with the following error: wmesg 'U'g omsg "Ug" pkcget: alarm 1 Alarm while looking for SYN -- request RXMIT pkcget: alarm 2 Alarm while looking for SYN -- request RXMIT ..... (the entire log is included below) All suggestions and RTFMs (with pointers) gratefully accepted. I have the same problem with a GVC MNP 5 modem, i swapped out the modem and uucp worked fine. I think that the problem is with flow control, particularly XON/XOFF, i did everything that i can think of to turn it off or use ctsrts flow controll but nothing worked. If you find a solution please let me know. -- Stephen Martin ------- LSI Logic Corporation of Canada, Inc.
