Hi,
is there someone running a uucp as vap under NetWare ?
This vap could collect all mail/news from the LAN-Users and
dial up another uucp-site ?
Does something like this exist ???

I've been tempted to do something like this, but allas, time does not permit. Perhaps it would be better to run on an OS/2 workstation as a bridge. -- Jack Computer Support Corporation Dallas,Texas Hudler Internet: jack@cscdec.cs.com

A company I consult for is picking up UUCP mail and news on a dedicated DOS machine. We store it locally and will be using Fresh Technologies Map-Assist to make that drive accessible by the rest of the network. There's a reason we don't store the news on the server. Directory entries. While 12 Meg of news per day is not a lot for our almost-gigabyte server, several thousand little files quickly chewed up all available directory entries. Of course, I could change the parameters for that volume, but the immediate solution was to get everything off the server so that work could continue that day. The gateway machine has 80 Meg of space not being used for anything, so this all seemed logical. I also toyed with the idea of writing a VAP for the UUCP and I'm now glad I didn't. I'm more interested right now in the possibility of running NNTP over our ARCNET to possibly improve the performance over Map-Assist. Any pointers in that direction? ~~~Steve -- /************************************************* * *Steven Abrams abrams@cs.columbia.edu * **************************************************/ #include <std/dumquote.h> #include <std/disclaimer.h>
