The problem with this (provided you get the quoting right, which may well be your primary problem, if "uucp would not accept" it), is that, at least in the versions of uucp that I've used, it will attempt to execute a new *uucp* command at the remote end to initiate the actual transfer. Since most sites don't allow remote execution of 'uucp' for security reasons, it will fail. --Per Hedeland per@erix.ericsson.se or per%erix.ericsson.se@uunet.uu.net or ...uunet!erix.ericsson.se!per
