Can someone provide a clear outline of what exactly is required to establish UUCP transfers of mail and news from a site to my ST at home? Please provide locations of software also if possible. Can this be done using only PD software? How do you register your address? With whom do you register???? Thanks!

1. You need a news/mail feed. Start by making your college system
administrator your friend. If that doesn't work, look in comp.mail.maps
for your state's UUCP maps and try contacting sites named therein. If
you still come up dry, contact postmaster@psi.com and/or uunet@uunet.uu.net
and be prepared to pay for service.
2. You need software.

atari.archive.umich.edu (PD/Shareware), Beckemeyer Development Tools
(commercial). The Michigan archive should have at least two or three
versions of UUCP. Beckemeyer's UUCP is fairly cheap and will multitask
under Micro RTX/MT C Shell.

Yes. See Rodney's Mercury UUCP modules, STadel BBS, UUPC (not
recommended), Mailtruk (written in GFA BASIC), etc. I know of two or three
others that are in operation but not released (including the s/w run here
at thelake).
I'm also beta-testing a new UUCP package from the author of a BBS system;
details will surely be made public at a later date.

To get your site registered in the UUCP Zone maps, contact your region's
map coordinator. If you do not know your region's map coordinator, contact
the UUCP Project at one of the following addresses:
domain-request@uunet.uu.net
{vucomp,halla,pyramid,rutgers,uiucuxc,rosevax}!uunet!domain-request
If you cannot send electronic mail, telephone
+1 703 764 9789
UUCP sites can obtain Internet-style, fully qualified domain addresses.
The preferred method for freestanding, small sites in the United States is
to register with the US domain. For details, contact westine@isi.edu or
get information by sending mail to service@nic.ddn.mil with a Subject:
line of NETINFO US-DOMAIN.TXT.
