Since international phone calls are very expensive here, too (as the only phone company here, a monopoly, is also to a large extent owned by the government), this is a bad idea. It seems that a much better idea would be to use UUPC to do uucp over tcp/ip. We can Telnet from here and we also have both SLIP and PPP accounts. If anyone has knowledge of the finer details in setting it all up, I would appreciate an e-mail. We are also looking for a provider. It can be anyone anywhere on the Net who can accept an incoming UUCP from us over tcp/ip. I already have contact to one, Mistik, but I have not heard from him for a while. Are there others? Preferibly someone who is not adverse to providing also a little handholding in the begiing as we set it up. Are there any?

The '230' is just the machine readable return code as defined by RFC799: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.8. The NEWNEWS command 3.8.1. NEWNEWS NEWNEWS newsgroups date time [GMT] [] A list of message-ids of articles posted or received to the specified newsgroup since "date" will be listed. The format of the listing will be one message-id per line, as though text were being sent. A single line consisting solely of one period followed by CR-LF will terminate the list. Date and time are in the same format as the NEWGROUPS command. A newsgroup name containing a "*" (an asterisk) may be specified to broaden the article search to some or all newsgroups. The asterisk will be extended to match any part of a newsgroup name (e.g., net.micro* will match net.micro.wombat, net.micro.apple, etc). Thus if only an asterisk is given as the newsgroup name, all newsgroups will be searched for new news. (Please note that the asterisk "*" expansion is a general replacement; in particular, the specification of e.g., net.*.unix should be correctly expanded to embrace names such as net.wombat.unix and net.whocares.unix.) Conversely, if no asterisk appears in a given newsgroup name, only the specified newsgroup will be searched for new articles. Newsgroup names must be chosen from those returned in the listing of available groups. Multiple newsgroup names (including a "*") may be specified in this command, separated by a comma. No comma shall appear after the last newsgroup in the list. [Implementors are cautioned to keep the 512 character command length limit in mind.] The exclamation point ("!") may be used to negate a match. This can be used to selectively omit certain newsgroups from an otherwise larger list. For example, a newsgroups specification of "net.*,mod.*,!mod.map.*" would specify that all net. and all mod. EXCEPT mod.map.<anything> newsgroup names would be matched. If used, the exclamation point must appear as the first character of the given newsgroup name or pattern. The optional parameter "distributions" is a list of distribution groups, enclosed in angle brackets. If specified, the distribution portion of an article's newsgroup (e.g, 'net' in 'net.wombat') will be examined for a match with the distribution categories listed, and only those articles which have at least one newsgroup belonging to the list of distributions will be listed. If more than one distribution group is to be supplied, they must be separated by commas within the angle brackets. The use of the IHAVE, NEWNEWS, and NEWGROUPS commands to distribute news is discussed in an earlier part of this document. Please note that an empty list (i.e., the text body returned by this command consists only of the terminating period) is a possible valid response, and indicates that there is currently no new news. 3.8.2.

Either you start UUCP to listen directly on the com port via -r0, or have the user dial in with PPP and then have UUCICO listen on the TCP/IP port 540 with -r0 and a TCP/IP modem file.

I have detected a problem with UUPC/Extended 1.12i for OS/2. I would like to know if it fixed in later versions, and which version should I get. Problem is: I have tried making a certain account shell to dos from UUPC, and take the port for its own use. It works by addind extra parameters in the PASSWD file. Well, in UUPC/e for DOS, version 1.12k, it works ok, as long as the called program is in the \UUPC\PUBLIC dir, otherwise it fails. BUT, when I tried it in the OS/2 version (1.12i instead of 1.12k) the only thing I get is an "Access Violation at 173ea310. UPCR12I.DLL 0001:0002A310". Help!.

Regardless of what you put in the mailbox field UUPC creates a mailbox based on the username, truncated to 8 characters. Stig's utilities, however, do pay attention to the mailbox field. This occurs only when UUPC is delivering mail, it does pay attention to the field when you wish to read mail. I've tested this with both UUPC 1.2nn and 1.2np. Here are the entries I created to test it: ------wombat. ------ filesent=outgoing Home=/home/var/wombat Mailbox=koala name=Eats roots & leaves -------passwd. ---- wombat::::Eat roots & leaves:c:/home/var/wombat ----------- Whenever I mailed to wombat the mail appeared in wombat.mbx, however trying to read mail gave "No mail in c:/home/var/wombat/koala.mbx" The workaround is simple for me, just ensure that the mailbox is the first 8 characters of the username. Now all I have to work out is what is smashing my long usernames down to 8 chars on outgoing mail, probably Eudora. Regards, Doug Woodgate. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Nov 1995 22:46:39 -0500 From: uupcinfo@kew.com Subject: UUPC ignores mailbox entry in username.rc To: UUPC/Extended mailing list On Fri, 17 Nov 1995 14:47:00 +1100, dougw@chaos.apana.org.AU wrote: > Regardless of what you put in the mailbox field UUPC creates a mailbox based > on the username, truncated to 8 characters.

There is nothing that says the file name has to match the user name, and in fact in older releases the file is called personal.rc, not userid.rc. > -------passwd. ---- > wombat::::Eat roots & leaves:c:/home/var/wombat > ----------- > > Whenever I mailed to wombat the mail appeared in wombat.mbx, however trying > to read mail gave "No mail in c:/home/var/wombat/koala.mbx" > > The workaround is simple for me, just ensure that the mailbox is the first 8 > characters of the username. > > Now all I have to work out is what is smashing my long usernames down to > 8 chars on outgoing mail, probably Eudora. I have no idea what "Stig's utilities" are, or what "username" you are talking about. Since UUPC/extended supports multiple user ids on the same site, the passwd file could be: wombat::::Eat roots & leaves:c:/home/var/wombat koala::::Hangs from Trees:c:/home/var/koala outback::::Disk used to build Sandberg:c:/home/var/wombat Then mail could be received for all three users within UUPC/extended. (It could also be received for a fourth user if that fourth mailbox is specified in the active personal.RC (the personal.rc is used to be build an extra user entry in memory if not found in the passwd file). Each user, of course, reads their mail by setting the UUPCUSRRC environment variable which makes them the active user. If Stig's utilities don't handle this multiple user environment properly, please contact the author. -ahd- -- Drew Derbyshire UUPC/extended e-mail: software@kew.com Telephone: 617-641-3452 To sign off from uupc-info, send the command "signoff uupc-info" in the body of a message to listserv@kew.com.

NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER bounce mail on purpose to postmaster. Save it for mail which shows up and doesn't have a real home. I FULLY reserve the right to force the bounce processing to enabled so that remote sites get error messages from mail.

The directory option should not enter into this. It's documented, BTW, in the uupc.rc file section. > I searched all digests and manuals for Hostpath details, but I'm feeling a > appreciated.

I suspect it DID send the the other parts, but fell behind and took a while to send it. I deleted the bogus part 4. I need to create a part 4 with UUPCDLL.DLL, but full reinstalls of the OSes over weekend sidetracked me. -- Drew Derbyshire UUPC/extended e-mail: software@kew.com Telephone: 617-641-3452 To sign off from uupc-info, send the command "signoff uupc-info" in the body of a message to listserv@kew.com.
