Hello MacMinix Users

I am trying to get uucp, wmail, umail, wnews and tass working on my
venerable MacPlus.  There have been many successes, and just a few
failures.  [wu]mail works fine. wnews and tass work fine (I like tass!).
My main problems are with uucico. The protocol gets hung while retrying
after a failure ("RJ out of window" message). I can transfer very small
files, but anything above half-a-dozen lines of text invariably causes
a problem.

I desperately need to contact other MacMinix/UUCP users who are trying
to do the same as me. Has anybody succeeded?

My hardware is MacPlus with 4MB RAM, 20MB harddisk, very early MacPlus
motherboard (my machine is an original 1984, 128 KB RAM upgraded when
the upgrade became first available in Canada - is my problem with the
ROMs???).

My software is MacMinix 1.5 upgraded with some of Fred van Kempen's
"Advanced Minix" stuff, namely init/inittab and getty/gettydef.

Please e-mail me at paul@ukpoit.co.uk and when "We" have solved the
problem, I'll report back to comp.os.minix.
