In the uucp slave startup sequence, just before the slave waits for a command from the master, the slave outputs three "commands", INITA, INITB, and INITC, awaiting the "proper" reply from the master for each before proceeding. I don't see the purpose in this at all. Can anyone explain what these commands are for and what the master is doing with them? -- William Swan {ihnp4,decvax,allegra,...}!uw-beaver!tikal!sigma!bill "..When we look only for evidence of guilt and ignore all contradictory evidence, these are the elements of a witch hunt." -Paul and Shirley Eberle, _The Politics of Child Abuse_
