Hi there, I'm looking for hints and tips from people who have successfully implemented UFG_103, which is a UNIX USEnet to Fidonet gateway. My planned configuration is as follows: PCBoard 14/E3 (running with LANtastic network, multiuser), using Drawbridge to handle the Fidonet interface. I plan to use a converter of some form to handle the Fidomail with PCBoard (anyone done this?) I hope also to interface Drawbridge with UFG, the Usenet-Fidonet Gateway package. It's not registered yet, as I'm not sure I can get it going. When I do, I will! At present I have no specific questions, because I haven't finished digesting all the manuals yet, but am more interested in advice, prior art or comments from Those Who Have Gone Before, especially any in Oz. Also, pointers to other preferred products would be desirable, e.g. I nearly got FSUUCP working, which could be run as a door under the BBS to allow callers to read netnews. But this seems less attractive than the UFG approach. echo "Thanks" >/dev/advance -- Paul Gillingwater, Computer Sciences of New Zealand Limited Bang: ..!uunet!dsiramd!csnz!paul Domain: paul@csnz.co.nz Call Magic Tower BBS V21/23/22/22bis 24 hrs +0064 4 767 326
