Standardly uucp only has a window of 3 and a packet size of 64 bytes (it is compiled in under most versions). I've tried transfering stuff over networks which seem to match your description and found the best thing to do is to allow the window and packet size to be specified in the L.sys file for each connection. Unfortunetly the remote machine must also be told about any changes in window/packet sizes before the g-protocol is invoked. So if you wanted to do this you would have to upgrade both ends. You can then increase the ammount of data you are prepared to send in advance of an acknowledgement and so increase your throughput. These fixes are built into UKUUCP (the UK standard uucp). Okay let's hear the Honey DanBer crowd beat that :-) -- -- UKUUCP SUPPORT Lee McLoughlin "What you once thought was only a nightmare is now a reality!"
