I recently found a local source who is willing to give me a partial UseNet
feed at my home, but I don't really know anything about whats involved. Is
all the software I need available (PD ?). Will I be able to read newsgroups,
as well as recieve mail, can I post and send mail? I'm assuming that I need
some kind of software to answer the phone and collect the feed, then some kind
of reader, etc... any pointer to specific packages or any advice would be
greatly appreicated. I will gladly post a summary. If it matters, here is
my hardware configuration:
A2500/030
100 MEGS HD
Hayes V.32 modem/dedicated phone line.
Thanks in advance,
-Jason-

I got Matt Dillon's version of UUCP (UNIX to UNIX copy), and currently have a 5MB partition that holds the spool/news/mail directory, and a couple of 30MB paritions. You should be able to get DUUCP from a FTP site. This comes with the basic UUCP setup, news, mail, and cron. Matt said that he was going to be releasing the new version of DUUCP sometime around December. You might see it on comp.binaries.amiga. Or you could buy a 3000UX. ;-) Sean -- From the desk of Sean Reifschneider. Isn't Amiga UUCP great? Thanks Matt. uunet.uu.net!ccncsu.colostate.edu!ncuug!miranda!jafo
