This is a shot in the dark, but I'll try anyway...Does anyone out there know
of a package for IBM's VM operating system that would allow a IBM 'frame to
emulate UUCP? I know this is weird, but here's what this package would need
to do:
o Run on an IBM 4381 mainframe running VM/SP/CMS rel. 5
o Send and receive files in a manner acceptable to UUCP when polled by a Unix
box over a 2400-baud dial-up line.
I know that someone at Penn State (I believe) wrote a package called UREP to
allow Unix machines to emualte IBM's RSCS protocol, but has anyone done the
reverse for UUCP? If anyone out there knows, please e-mail me directly.
Thanks in advance for your help.

P.S. I know that the readers of this forum are not in general knowledgeable
about VM, but I figured that someone out there might have had experience
in getting Unix and IBM systems to communicate. If anyone has any sug-
gestions for a more appropriate place to post, please let me know.
