[comp.sys.mac] Can anyone help me with UUPC?

Can anyone out there using UUPC help me get it running on my Mac?
I have never had to deal with doing anything similar on a Mac or UNIX
box before, and the included documentation is less than tutorial in
nature, esp. for a beginner.  I realize that there is a good chance
that this has been asked here before, but I dont have the time to read
it very often, so if someone has collected the major pitfalls and simple
instructions for getting the program to start getting mail and news, I
would be most grateful.  (Please respond by EMAIL, of course, although
I will put extra effort into reading the followups to this, if they appear.)

Thanks, Jon

I, too, had some trouble understanding what exactly it was going to
do and what I had to do.  

More importantly, I have no Macs with modems, but only Macs with lines
to our terminal server.  I would still like to use it, but I have no
idea how to convert modem "dial" information to the commands to open
the channel to the terminal server.  Once that was done, I assume all
login procedures and transfer items would still work.

Anyone who may have use it for semi-local support and wants to tell me
how, please feel free.  Otherwise I am just holding onto it just a Mac
with a modem turns up somewhere around here...
