Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here?

HDB uucp is something else that's available for the UNIX PC
from THE STORE.  I'm running HDB on my UNIX PC right now,
with my only modem being the internal modem.  In fact, there
are * 3 * of us that I know of here in NC running HDB on UNIX PCs.

HDB solved a problem I was having, by the way, that you may or
may not be aware of:  The UNIX PC, during uucp handshaking, sends
and receives only * 6 * characters of its name, whereas other
UNIX machines (e.g., 3B2s) send and receive * 8 *.  My sitename
(bakerst) is 7 characters.  I didn't have any trouble talking to
other UNIX PCs, but as soon as I tried to talk to a friend's 3B2,
I ran into problems.  HDB took care of it - and I got to keep my
sitename.

I understand HDB will be available with the next release of UNIX -
for the UNIX PCs, anyway, and I assume for everyone else.


For more info about THE STORE, send mail to:

I'm sure he'd love to hear from you.  He's been gathering support
letters to give to his product management.
