Since many of the new modems have MNP error checking/correction in hardware/firmware, would it be possible to run UUCP without any packetizing or error checking with MNP in "reliable" mode? I've read there are protocols (F, X ???) which do no error checking. If one of these were used, wouldn't better performance result? Would it be necessary to recompile the source for uucico on *both* ends of the connection to get this to work? In other words, if system #1 has a source license and can re-compile uucico to use F protocol (or whatever), will system #2 use F when it is called? If you don't have uucico source, is there any way to use a protocol other than G? ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: Boyd Ostroff, Technical Director :: System Operator, "The CallBoard" :: Department of Theatre, SUNY Oswego :: - Serving the performing arts - :: Internet: ostroff@oswego.Oswego.EDU :: (315) 947-6414, 300/1200/2400 baud :: Voice: (315) 341-2987 :: UUCP ...sunybcs!oswego!cboard!ostroff :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
