- I have been having difficulty with uucp running on aix v 3.2 on my rs6000.
- I am using a PPI 14400 fxa modem. Our local site calls up another once
- an hour to retrieve mail & news. We are experiencing two major problems:
-
- About 50% of the time, after long file transfers, when the modem hangs up,
- it immediately goes to off-hook state and applies a tone to the line, remaining
- off hook until it has been powered down and up.
-
- I am plagued with tty overrun errors. How do I tell the machine-modem uucp
- configuration to use rts/cts flow control. Is the rs6000 lame-brained like
- the sun so that it can't do incoming flow control?
-
- Thanks in advance.
