steve, well, as a test, i've created a small mail message, and sent it off with the modem set to spoof the uucp 'g' protocol. the first (data) file gets through with a cy (copy confirm) in return, but the software times out trying to send the second (execute) file. the result is a failed send. i've sent mail to matt dillon, asking if he's given any thought to where the problem is. he had mailed me a few weeks ago that it's either the modem firmware or uucico. i vote that it's uucico, since the modem 'g' protocol was written for telebit by one of the original authors of honeydanber unix. i have the afore mentioned data files as well as the debug level output ready to send him, but i want to find out how receptive he is first. i don't want to turn his labor of love into a misery. the worst part of this is that the trailblazer+ loses most effectiveness if the spoofing is not available. a tech document on the modem from telebit says that without spoofing, the resulting piggyback of 'g' and 'pep' protocols reduces effective throughput to just over 1200 bps, down from the 12-14000 bps that can be expected with spoofing on. i just bought the telebit a week ago. i'm sort of bugged. —Andrew
