Does anyone out there know if there is a way to send UUCP mail to a VMS VAX? Thanks in advance, Gerald Aden ...!hplabs!sdcrdcf!trwrb!orion!aden

We have vms uucp, it handles mail and file transfers. We got it from: Kevin Carosso Hughes Aircraft Company Space & Communications Group Bldg.

If yes, you can use (using my site as an example) mail sask!ihnp4!vax.BITNET!user where vax is the Bitnet node name for that machine and user is the name of the user on that vax; and !ihnp4 is where we (and the rest of the world) talk to.

He's now in the same building I'm in. The correct address for him is now: Hughes Aircraft Company Space & Communications Group Bldg. S40, M/S T342 Box 92919 Los Angeles, CA 90009 (213) 606-1092 However, last I heard, he's now recommending people use PMDF (a version of the MMDF mail system writen in Pascal for VAXen) rather than his UUCP. PMDF speaks both the CSnet PhoneNet protocol for telephone links and SMTP for ethernet connections. We used to use UUCP over a 9600 baud line to transfer mail between the (Unix) machine I'm currently on and one of the VMS machines Kevin runs, but now use SMTP over an ethernet. The new setup seems more robust than the old. So... if you have a Unix machine etherneted to your VMS VAX and want to send mail between them, I'd recommend getting PMDF over Kevin's UUCP. Or if you only have a phone link, you can still run PhoneNet to any Unix machine under smart enough management to have switched from sendmail to MMDF (small editorial comment on my part :-). Another factor is that I believe you need an ATT Unix license for your VMS VAX to run Kevin's code as it was derived from Unix source. PMDF, on the other hand, only costs a $50 distribution fee (again, last time I checked). To get PMDF, contact Ned Freed (an old pal of Kevin's and yet another Harvey Mudd grad). His address is: Computing Services Harvey Mudd College Claremont, CA 91711 (714) 621-8000 I don't know Ned's phone number off-hand, the above is the Claremont Colleges switchboard. They should know his extension. --Brian UUCP: {seismo,allegra}!scgvaxd!brian ARPA: brian%scgvaxd@csvax.caltech.edu
