uucp f protocol on ISC 2.0.2

[Chris Old]

I took the fio.c file out of the uucp.x25pad.Z archive from
the uunet tapes. I added this to the directory where the HDB
uucp source was, and I edited the Makefile and cntrl.c as per
the instructions. I then attempted to 'make uucico'.

I had to make two more changes to fio.c to get it to compile
with gcc. I had to define sccsid (which I'm sure won't affect
anything) and after defining USG, I had to comment out the
inclusion of termio.h (to prevent multiple definitions).

It then compiled. However, when I moved the uucico to
/usr/lib/uucp and did a Uutry, the uucico died after printing
two lines of debug text. Many hours of hacking and fiddling
have produced no other results.

Has anybody got the f protocol to work under 386/ix? Has
anybody got any hints? This fio.c is pretty old, and was only
tested by the author for BSD. Is there a more appropriate
version available?

Thanks,
