Any clue will be greatly appreciated. DEC's DECShell product includes an implementation of UUCP, although the documentation claims you can only use this to communicate with other VMS systems or with Ultrix systems (the implication being that you can't communicate with any other sort of Unix system). I have no idea what they did to cripple the implementation, or whether it's possible to circumvent this restriction. The other drawback is that DECShell isn't exactly cheap. :-) Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gregory H.
