I thought the 'g' protocol came out later for TCP over Ethernet connections. As such I wonder if UUCP on v7 supports the 'g' protocol. ===== You're mis-remembering. g was the original protocol, intended for use over possibly-noisy serial lines (e.g. modems on POTS). It does error checking of various sorts with retransmission. I believe it is named g after the protocol's original designer, Greg Chesson. Later protocols meant to work over reliable, error- checked links like a TCP/IP circuit were t and e. Norman Wilson Toronto ON
