Hi netters, I would like to ask how can one "make" a UUCP site, in particular, I have a PC and a modem, is it possible to have my home computer as a UUCP site ? What are the software, OS, tools ... etc that are needed to do that, What are the costs incurred before and after establishing the site ? I would appreciate it if you can reply by email, I will post a summary to the net. Thanks in advance. Tarek M. Sobh sobh@grasp.cis.upenn.edu Computer and Information Science Dept. University of Pennsylvania [Moderator's Note: Certainly your 'home computer' can be a UUCP site. In fact, if you'd like the counsel of the administrator of what I think is one of the finest privately-owned UUCP sites anywhere, you should contact randy@chinet.chi.il.us. I consider Chinet my 'home system' for my personal netting. Randy Suess operates Chinet out of one room in his apartment giving a full news feed, mail and a lot more. If he can't advise you on setting something up, no one can! PAT]
