I am about to buy Interactive Unix 386 and would like to have about 4 or 5 uucp line connect to it. These lines will be used only for uucp connections and not user logins. Is there a way to do this without buying a license to support more user? Thanks -- Darryl Wagoner (home) darryl@lemuria.uucp Shecora Associates, Inc; OS/2, Just say No!

Calling *out* on multiple lines won't be a problem, but ISC's technique for limiting users (at least what I've seen in 1.0.4-1.0.6) is incapable of distinquishing UUCP from user logins so you couldn't allow them to simultaneously dial in without subverting the limit mechanism. Unfortunately, it's not clear whether ISC (or many other vendor's of user-restricted software) really intended to prohibit uucp call-ins or not. I wish the policy was clearer, and the mechanism capable of allowing *legitimate* "extensions". Then again, it's probably a strict reading of the AT&T licensing policies. -- Chris Lewis, Elegant Communications Inc, {uunet!attcan,utzoo}!lsuc!eci386!clewis Ferret mailing list: eci386!ferret-list, psroff mailing list: eci386!psroff-list
