We need some help with uucp.  We talk to our feed via uucp (Berkely version
5.1).  We often can get a connection but we have a high rate of failure
when it comes to file transfer.

That is, we start a file transfer and midway we get some sort of ASSERT
error.  It is either TIMEOUT, or PKCGET or PKXSTART return -1.  I found
that we get some occasional read errors in the routine pkcget.  One of
the errors is EWOULDBLOCK, the other is EIO.  I understand the errors
but I would like some means of recovery.

This has become quite frustrating to us as we have a very difficult time
pulling the news across from our feed.

Any suggestions or fixes or any similar problems?  I would greatly
appreciate any assistance or advice you could lend me.  Perhaps there
is some other more reliable (if it is indeed a problem with the software)
file transfer program.

Please mail all replies.  Thanks.
