- Help and double help,
- Apparently I've been unable to post for more than month
- and (it is insidious torture to post, see the post locally and then wait
- by the tube waiting for a reply that will never come!). My litany
- of problems are:
- 1. Can't post using the installable wnews from Bob@mwc.
- 2. Can't get Taylor binaries from Bob@mwc to work.
- 2. Can't make source for Taylor (lack Bison for parsedate?)
- 3. Can't retrieve files from Internet (see below).
- 4. Running qfind -b brings down my aha (Adaptec SCSI) driver
- and freezes the hard disk.
-
- I'm pulling out my hair trying to get internet stuff by
- way of an mail-ftp-server. Using Coherent's uucp, I have no
- trouble communicating to my link to the net, but once that
- machine has retrieved the file and tries to send it to me I get:
-

- The tilde expansion works fine when my uucp requests
- a file from a remote machine. But in the case of the mailserver,
- the remote is sending something to me and the tilde expansion fails.
- When the remote system uses a hard-coded pathname
- to uucppublic or /tmp, everything works!
- The mail-server is automated, so it's not feasible to
- hard code the pubdir pathname.

- I thought I might have better luck with the Taylor uucp
- and installed binaries Bob@mwc sent (uucico, uuxqt, uucp, uux). I
- wrote sys and port configuration files that seem to work only so
- far. When I talk to my netlink, I get:
