Hi,

I've searched (grep'ed my disk nearly to death :-) for faqs, articles
on this toppic to no avail :-(

The problem: I've a perfectly working dumb site receiving mail and
news using uucp (which dials to my (sole) feed).
My feed has offered me a slip connection and now I would like to
use this slip connection to receive mail and news.

Slip works perfectly too (ping never loses a packet, traceroute
gives back the right infos and ftp'ing around is great).

I've discovered that it's *not* enough to change `port type modem'
to `port type tcp' and setting `address my.feed' in the system
configuration file.

So please, what else is needed?
-Michael
