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.
