[comp.mail.uucp] Attaching to uucp

Greetings,
	This may seem like a simple question but being a newcomer to this
area, I'm somewhat at a disadvantage.  Could someone clarify how one can
register/connect a PC running MsDos/Un*x to UUCP and be able to send and
receive mail just like the larger Un*x boxes.  If I wanted to support
rnews, do I HAVE to buy a Sun with huge Eagle drives or is it possible
to have a 386 box with a large (>500 Mb) disk?  Essentially, what
qualifications, magnitude of equip. does one require to be a true Uucp node?  
And is there a annual fee of some sorts to be a registered node?  Any
clarification on this matter would be most appreciated.

				Thanx in adv.
