I'd email, but the original article is long expired ... :-) While chatting with the hotline today, I asked them if there would be any difficulties or problems if those of us who have the new patched 3b1 uucico redistribute it to people locally, rather than have all those people call the hotline. The response I was given was that AT&T is not recording who has received the new uucico, and they have no problem if you redistribute it yourself. (It ends up saving them time. if you can send it to ten interested persons, that's ten less that they have to deal with). Of course, I really want to thank the hotline tech's (Hi Rolf! Dunno if read the net! :-) that are extremely helpful, and especially those that actually spend the time to help you. The clerks on the other hand, I'm not so thrilled with. A good number of them could use some courtesy lessons, AT&T. (As well as some decent procedures on how to handle callers.) Some minimum effort on their part would greatly reduce the number of angry callers, and frustrated users. Me included. No smilies here.) -- _____________________________________________________________________________ | Robert J.

manager/async emulator?

No. I don't exactly know what those patches are, but I do not believe it affects uucico (my 3.5 and 3.51 uucico are the same size). The patched uucico from the hotline repairs uucico induced system crashes (with occasional panic traps) on non HDB UUCP. (*sigh* inserted here for HDB folx :-). -- _____________________________________________________________________________ | Robert J.
