Keywords: Does anyone have a suggestion for connecting a stand alone Sun for recieving/sending email while adhering to a budget that does not allow for connection to Internet? I'm new at this sort of thing and was fortunate enough to have inherited the capability myself. But business dictates that I need to communicate with a remote site without the capability. If we got them a modem, what would be the easiest path to fallow? Thanx for any suggestion / please excuse the ignorance. S. J. Kuiper skuip@sunserver.relay.nswc.navy.mil (128.38.35.13)

Sounds like what you want is UUCP. It is cheap and relatively slow, depending on how it's configured, but it works fine for e-mail and news. And the only extra hardware you need is a modem. UUCP software is built into SunOS. See the networking manual for some information. Get the Nutshell book "Managing uucp and Usenet" for some more, and tune into comp.mail.uucp. -- =============================================================================== Roger Vanderveen rbv@cypress.UUCP or San Jose, CA USA rbv%cypress@daver.bungi.com ===============================================================================
