John,
	What is the phone number for the uport BBS and what is the login
procedure?  Finally, how is the file system setup for callers to get files?

Thanks,
Pete

The uport BBS is open to all Microport customers on a registration basis;
the first time you log on you are asked for your name and support/serial #.
After validation you are granted up/download privs - validation takes 
a couple of days (usually done daily, but...).

We have two Trailblazers and an Everex Evercom 24e:

	     Evercon 24e : (408) 438-1680
	     Trailblazer : (408) 438-6567
	     Trailblazer : (408) 438-6687

You can use anonymous uucp (login: nuucp) to send/get files from the games and
unix file areas (~/games/* and ~/unix/*); the other areas are only avaliable
to registered users.

If you would like a direct connection (for mail) to uport (you poll us) just
send me email.

It was there when I called it at 3pm PST today.  I've had no luck
calling it later in the evening; perhaps they only have it up during
business hours...?  It isn't too lively though.
