Hi there...

I run a WildCat BBS system, and was originally using wcUUCP and the UUCICO
that came with it (by UUPLUS).  This worked fine except for CONTINUOUS 'out
of sequence' errors followed by a hangup.

My admin. suggested I try FX UUCICO, which another person was uusing for
UUCP on his host, with no errors whatsoever.  So, I think - one UUCICO,
another UUCICO.

I install it, find things a little different, but got most of the stuff
working (systems, scripts, etc.)  and it connects fine and downloads all the
latest packets, BUT:

It is not communicating with wcUUCP - I noticed that it names the packets
with .D instead of .D10 or .D11 as UUPLUS' UUCICO did.  But whatever, wcUUCP
does not 'find' the packets created by FX UUCICO, and FX does not find the
packets created by wcUUCP.

Any ideas?  Please respond if you know a solution to fix up UUPLUS' UUCICO
or get the link between FX and WC working.

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Cheers
Gaven
