- I had the same problem with uucico, it did not time out on failure to
- get in to the remote end. It turns out the signal handler did not
- set up interrupts to stop the read. The fix is in the file sys1.c,
- you should find the line:
-
- s.sa_flags = 0;
-
- and change it to:
-
- #ifdef SA_INTERRUPT
- s.sa_flags = SA_INTERRUPT;
- #else
- s.sa_flags = 0;
- #endif
-
- BTW, thanks to the people who provide all the nifty tools for linux.
- I think linux is better than the commercial stuff we have at work.
