I connect to one site that's running SysVr4 and has the G protocol but I
haven't tried the patch yet. The traffic doesn't justify it and at 2400
bps it probably doesn't make much difference. But there is something I
wonder about. The G protocol supports restarting a file at the point
where the transfer was interrupted. What kind of problems does this
cause if you patch Waffle's uucico to masquerade as the G instead of g?
If the transfer is interrupted what will happen when the SysVr4 system
asks the waffle system to start a file a at certain place? Will it be
able to figure out that the waffle system can't do it or will it fail?
If someone has tested this let us know, if not maybe I'll try it myself.
