Get TaylorUUCP. It compiles fairly easily. I have my packets set to 128 bytes and 7 packet windows (which is the max that our feed can handle) and I get much much better througput. Taylor will let you set up to 2k packets. However, if you are spoofing, you won't get very much more througput if any unless there is net-lag in your uucp link (like in mine). I get 800+ cps on recieves now, but 110- cps on sends due to lag. andrew -- andrew@cubetech.com Andrew Loewenstern | "listen: there's a hell of a good universe Cube Technologies, Inc. | next door; let's go." --- e.e. cummings
