[ this must be the month i get to use the hell out of comp.unix.xenix ]
The system I am writing this on has a 1200 baud out-bound modem and a
2400 baud in-bound one, so I set rpp386 up to force callbacks to pigs
to try to reduce the news feed time. I put the c flag in the USERFILE
for pigs as the manual says.
I just tried to dial out and found the line busy [ which is why I wanted
things set up this way in the first place ] and guess who pigs is
talking to? rpp386.
I must confess, I have never used callback in my entire life so I am
at a total loss for what to do. ANY help would be welcome, that is,
any except `buy another 2400 baud modem'. [ unless you want to give
me a tube of DRAMs to trade for one, which is how I got this one ;-) ]
