- I connect to one site that's running SysVr4 and has the G protocol but I
- haven't tried the patch yet. The traffic doesn't justify it and at 2400
- bps it probably doesn't make much difference. But there is something I
- wonder about. The G protocol supports restarting a file at the point
- where the transfer was interrupted. What kind of problems does this
- cause if you patch Waffle's uucico to masquerade as the G instead of g?
- If the transfer is interrupted what will happen when the SysVr4 system
- asks the waffle system to start a file a at certain place? Will it be
- able to figure out that the waffle system can't do it or will it fail?
-
- If someone has tested this let us know, if not maybe I'll try it myself.
