However, more is needed in that uucp programs should also accommodate a dscnnt.c routine that is called to effect proper disconnection. With Sytek Localnet 20, we can establish an 8-bit no-parity pathway, but the disconnecting routine should have a set of default commands to restore the t-box to some standard settings if the connect protocol changed any of them. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
