: I have recently concluded a major overhaul of UUCP and news software on
: this system. The existing Svr4 UUCP was replaced by Taylor UUCP (1.04)
: and the Performance Release of C News was upgraded to the Cleanup Release.

I just installed Taylor UUCP 1.0.5 and watched my transfer rates jump
about 400cps or more.  I am still using the previos C-News performance
release and have not noticed any garbled batches.  Why not try getting
UUCP 1.0.5?

As a side effect of installing Taylor, I no longer have the problem with
uucico hanging my ppp connections.  (I asked Novell several times and
posted here, but no one even responded.)  If I had a PPP connect to my
ISP and uudemon.hour cause uucico to poll, my PPP connect would hang.
It would stay up, but stop passing traffic.  I would have to hangup and
reconnect about 3 times before it would work again.  I am almost
positive that the connection server was popping a streams module on the
stack causing PPP to lock up.  CS should have seen by the lock that the
port was in use, and given up.  It reports the lock in cs.debug, but
locked up the ppp connect everytime.
