Autzoo.855 net.v7bugs,NET.v7bugs utzoo!henry Wed Aug 5 21:04:34 1981 uucp break-sending speed V7 uucp (actually, uucico) sends BREAK by dropping the speed momentarily (to the value specified by Bspeed) and transmitting NULs. The value of Bspeed is 150 baud, which is reasonable. BUG: Bspeed is initialized to "150", NOT "B150". Fix: make the change, in the declaration of Bspeed in uucpdefs.h. This introduces one problem: uucpdefs.h now needs the system include file sgtty.h (for the definition of B150). Either one can run around putting "#include <SGTTY.H>" in all six uucp source files that include uucpdefs.h, or one can put the include in uucpdefs.h and delete any independent includes of sgtty.h in source files that also pick up uucpdefs.h (there is only one such, in cico.c). The former may be cleaner, the latter is easier.
