uucp problem -- please help

[Clemens Schrimpe]

The problem seems to be in those rlogin-connections. As I could 
determine from your debug-info your uucico tries to utilize the so
called 'g' protocol for transmission. This is quite right for non-MNP
modemconnections but it also requires a FULL (!!!) 8-bit transparent
connection which 'rlogin' wouldn't give you, since at least '~' has
a special meaning to it.

There are two possible solutions of that problem:

a)	Try to make your uucico use the 'f' protocol - it will
	only use 7 bits and avoid special characters like the
	most characters of col. 0/1 of the ascii-chart and DEL.
	Although you should set the ESCAPE character of either telnet
	or rlogin to some control-char instead of '~' !
	The problem with this is, that if you have a very noisy
	telephone-line you'll get more problems, since the 'f'
	protocol relies on a flow-controlled (that's where the name
	comes from) almost error-free connection.

b)	Write a simple 8-bit transparent communications-program,
	which connects you to the 'uucp' port of the receiving
	machine. This programm could terminate if one side simply
	hangs up. (uucp = port 540/tcp [uucpd] - Berkeley Unix should
	support that)
