-
- TUNABLE PARAMETERS IN THE STATIC FILE
-
- In addition to those described above, there are several more
- tunable
- parameters available as "advanced options". They are not
- required
- in the static file, and most people won't need them.
-
- uu.alive Time before UUCICO generates a fatal
- timeout, and terminates connection. By
- default this is 90 seconds.
-
- uu.between Similar to uu.retrytime, but used
- between
- multiple entries for the same host in
- the
- systems file. By default this is 10
- seconds.
-
- uu.debug Default debug level, equivalent to the
- -x
- command line option. Included here
- mainly
- for debugging purposes.
-
- uu.delay Timeout delay during g protocol
- transfers.
- For heavily loaded hosts, possibly in
- combination with low speed links,
- setting
- this higher is sometimes necessary.
-
- You should not change this unless you
- are experiencing repeated **timeout
- errors.
- The default is 16 seconds, which is
- long.
-
- uu.driver Which COMM driver uucico will use. Valid
- choices are "native" and "fossil". This
- line must come AFTER any "driver"
- statement
- in the static file.
-
- UUCICO will also recognize a "driver"
- statement if present; the uu.driver is
- intended to override this if necessary.
-
- Refer to DOS.DOC for more information.
-
- uu.drops Strings that when received from the
- modem,
- cause premature termination of chat
- scripts.
- Underscores in these are converted to
- spaces.
-
- The default setting is BUSY NO_CARRIER
- NO_DIALTONE.
-
- uu.errors Number of errors before aborting a
- uucico
- session. Normally set to 200, set this
- higher if you are transferring very
- large
- files over a noisy link.
-
- uu.exit Program exit status ("errorlevel") for
- successful transactions; this means at
- least one completed connection.
-
- uu.fail Exit status for failure, meaning either
- a configuration problem or no
- connections
- were successful.
-
- Both uu.exit and uu.fail are intended
- for interfacing with other programs.
-
- uu.grade Default grade at which transfers are
- performed.
- The -g parameter will override this.
-
- By default, no grades are set, and all
- files queued will be transferred.
-
- uu.handshake Time, in seconds, to wait for responses
- during the uucico handshake sequence.
- Raise
- this if you get "Startup timed out
- waiting
- for remote system" because of a loaded
- machine on the other end of the
- connection.
-
- By default, this is set to 30.
-
- uu.locked Speed at which to lock the
- modem<->computer
- connection. Used for some high speed
- connections.
-
- uu.retries Default number of retries when polling.
- Normally 1, this can also be overridden
- with
- the -r command line option.
-
- uu.retrytime Time to wait in seconds between retries.
- By
- default this is 10 seconds, which is long
- enough
- for most modems to reset for the next
- call.
-
- uu.time For expect/send sequences, the default
- timeout before aborting or sending an
- alternate. Equivalent to -t.
-
- uu.visual Debug level for screen output. By
- default
- this is the same as uu.debug, and vice
- versa.
-
- uu.windows Maximum number of windows for G
- protocol.
- Normal settings are 3 or 7. By default
- this
- is 7. If you have very noisy lines,
- setting
- to 3 may be more efficient.
