There are two PD/shareware versions I know of: UUPC and gnuucp. Gnuucp is "friendlier", featuring a HyperCard-based mail reader/editor, but the performance is terrible (~70cps at 9600 baud). UUPC offers reasonable transfer speeds, but has no "Mac-like" interface. If you would like to talk to someone using these two packages, send email to either: cboard!lights!cjr@natasha.oswego.edu or cboard!galini!nicktrou@natasha.oswego.edu >As well, I'm interested in a program that handles >net-news transfers and reading of net-news. The only one of these I've heard of is UaXcess, a commercial product which has gotten very favorable reviews, but is pretty expensive. You could use either UUPC or gnuucp to receive news by mail, though. >Ideally, I'd like to use this >in an AppleShare lab, with all the mail & news files on the server where >every machine can access them. This is a little tougher. I'm not sure what (if anything) is available for this. I think UaXcess may provide this capability, but UUPC and gnuucp are designed to be used with modems (or directly connected) individual macs, just like "real" UUCP (which is what you asked for, right?). >If something like this is not available (short of A/UX ugh!), I'll probably >port them from Unix myself.... Let me know if you port something. |||| Boyd Ostroff / Tech Director / SUNY Oswego Dept of Theatre / 315-341-2987 |||| Sys Admin at cboard.UUCP / Serving the Performing Arts / 315-947-6414/8N1 |||| ostroff@oswego.oswego.edu / cboard!ostroff@natasha.oswego.edu
