These groups probably are not the right place to ask about this, but it seemed as good as any other.... Anyway, I feed news and mail to a site here in Rhode Island that is interested in "getting on" the Internet, as they are involved with biometrics research and development, for remote/local rlogin/telnet sessions, etc. As their UNIX consultant, however, I'm not really sure where to start on this. My experience has been with mere UUCP links and MX forwarding of mail, and anonymous FTP, not with rlogin, telnet, etc. Can someone provide a good guide to follow (ie: Step one, pray....) ? Where exactly does one start? I imagine that the type of software you use depends on the type of link you have... BTW: This site is running SCO XENIX. This can change, though, if necessary; however, their hardware platform is a 33mhz 386. Followups to news.sysadmin, for lack of a better place... MD
