[net.bugs.uucp] UUCP Information Query

I am looking for comprehensive uucp information sources.  I would like to
learn the history of uucp, how to set up uucp on my system, what all of
those cryptic error messages mean, the differences between versions...
basically everything about it.  I would appreciate any pointers to
appropriate books, magazines, or net articles as well as general advice.

Mail would be best for responses.

					Thank You,

						Eric

[Does that line problem still exist? Or is this line useless?  Or both?]

About a week ago I posted a request for UUCP information.  Well, I
received numerous responses...all but a couple of which were requests
for a summary of responses.  So if you have any useful info about:

	o  UUCP setup (beyond normal documentation)
	o  UUCP error messages
	o  UUCP protocol(s)
	o  UUCP history
	o  Known UUCP system versions
	o  etc...

Please mail them to me if possible.

I Definitely WILL summarize to the net!

Also, does anyone out there archive net.bugs.uucp?  I would like to
look into organizing a bug/version list (sounds like an impossible
task doesn't it?  I'm young, I've got years...)

				Thanks Everyone,
						Eric
