• oxp: file requests?

    From August Abolins@2:221/1.58 to All on Sun May 5 20:04:00 2019
    Hello!

    Anyone fully test the filerequest feature in OXP?

    When I create a request, the packet gets generated and sent, examples:

    [1]
    = 19:47:18 CONNECT
    19:47:19 OPT CRAM-MD5-db902298be5414d22ba963ce4a009d20

    - 19:00:02 exiting

    After each "Sent XXXXXXX.REQ", the call just stalls and does not finish on its own. I have to end it manually after a long time, hence "user
    break".

    What am I doing wrong?

    In your session[2], you didn't wait long enough, here's how it went
    for me .....

    Ah, yes.. On a third attempt, I got temporarily distracted away from the
    pc, and by the time I got back (over 2 minutes) I noticed that the freq completed. As per your session above, I didn't realize it could take
    longer than a minute to complete.

    Nearly 5 minutes seemed long enough if it could work!

    Poo. :( I guess this ought to be an honourable mention in the CONS
    list?

    Is there is any way to find out in advance who uses mbcico?

    Yes, it could be a candidate.

    Not that I'm aware of.
