30: >>Simple kwes on UUCP communications (especially to mwcbbs)
31: >>
32: >>If I'm doing UUCP and have an allowable time set for datacom (say, after
33: >>11pm, when the rates are cheaper), and I have several requests to the bbs
34: >>(f'rinstance, I have a letter to mail to mwcbbs!support, I have updates to
35: >>d/l, I have files to submit), will UUCP make the call once and perform all
36: >>the actions I want, or will it do everthing in it's own separate call?
37: >>
38: >>i.e.
39: >>
40: >>Call mwcbbs to mail the letter
41: >>Hangup
42: >>Call mwcbbs to d/l everything I requested
43: >>Hangup
44: >>Call mwcbbs to u/l a submission

46: >>
47: >>or instead
48: >>
49: >>Call mwcbbs
50: >>Mail the letter
51: >>d/l requested software
52: >>u/l submission
53: >>Hangup
54:

56: The latter will take place. All file transfer requests are kept in the
57: directory /usr/spool/uucp/SITENAME_TO_BE_CALLED and will be be processed
58: when your site connects to the site being called.
59:
60: >>The second is clearly more cost effective, but I'm kind of scared to try
61: >>this on long-distance rates without knowing the answer...just getting
62: >>everything set up was pretty costly in terms of phone time, even late
63: >>at night.
64: >>
65: >>Third kwes...is there any way to make working backup copies of the
66: >>distribution diskettes so I can store them off-site and still have
67: >>a set ready to go at all times?
68:
69: You can use the dd command to copy an image of a diskette to a file on the
70: hard drive and once again to copy the file from the hard drive back out
71: to a blank, formatted floppy disk. There are files on mwcbbs which will
72: show you how to do this.
73:
74: >>Fourth, a possible bug in UUCP (which may have already been fixed in the
75: >>updates that I haven't d/l'ed yet. uuinstall may corrup L.sys by removing
76: >>the password field (I'm not sure if there's enough space on the screen for
77: >>it or what, but it doesn't show and wasn't there when I went into L.sys
78: >>manually). This caused no end of grief as I tried to get UUCP to function
79: >>and call mwcbbs.
80:
81: This is a well known problem to us. The 3.2 up and coming update to COHERENT
82: will fix this problem.
