- To all,
-
- This is my first posting to the newsgroups, so please bear with me.
- I have access to a UUCP setup through a local DOS-based BBS through
- Waffle software. My machine is an older IBM PC/XT (8088) with 640K
- running DOS3.1, using a Practical Peripherals 2400SA modem. My problem is
- that while I am connecting to the BBS at 2400 baud, getting through the
- logon script into the UUCP software, I get the following message:
-
- msg: timeout waiting for sync
-
- and then I lose carrier-detect and my modem hangs up. Has anyone out
- there run into this (or similar) problem, and could lend some help?
- I access this local BBS and UUCP daily from my machine at work, but
- would like to do some of this at home, especially on the weekends.
- Please respond via mail, as the sysop of my local BBS does not
- receive this particular newsgroup. I will post a summary of any/all
- responses I receive.
- Thanks in advance...
-
- Jon
