[comp.unix.questions] Becoming a UUCP node

welch%UMASS.BITNET@wiscvm.wisc.EDU (05/14/87)

I'd like to get some kind of network connection for the company I just
started working for.  Becoming a uucp node seems to be the best way to
go.  We're running VMS on Vaxes -- does anyone know where I can get
some information on how to connect to the uucp network?

I will have to face up to this problem soon as well - tho'
in my case I have a *ton* of software as part of the BSD Unix
system to *help* me. But I know that the 'login' command
has bugs and so I wonder what else will come out of the
woodwork when I try it.

As to the mechanics I believe you need a nearby node to
set up a phone link to?
