(I can't use discuss to reply to this meeting, so guess I'll just have
to mail to bug-sipb again. Sigh ...)
The mailing list still has priority, the meeting should really be used
as an archive...

Previous investigation showed that a unix supdup server IS apparently
installed on Dialup, but deliberatly turned off. I offer as evidence:
-the file /site/usr/local/chsupdup
-the (now defunct?) host dialup-chaos
-the fact that supdup works fine FROM but not TO dialup
The third statement explains the first. The supdup daemon (recieving)
and the supdup client (the part you run) are seperate things.
/usr/local/chsupdup is the outgoing side, as you noticed in your third
statement. So it is *NOT* deliberately turned off, we merely haven't
got one running yet.
Maybe someone knows why this is so? Is this answer administrative or
technical problems? Or something else?

Mostly time crunch at the moment. It will probably appear soon,
although you are the first one to ask for it in the 9 months we have
been running dialup service. Note also that Athena is beginning to
support dialup themselves, instead of leaving SIPB to do so; this will
probably decrease the chance of chaos supdup being included in the
future (and likewise internet supdup, as neither of these exist in any
Athena release.)
