Any suggestions? I have the opposite problem. How do you UUCP mail to a dial in client? As far as news, my guess would be to assign the user a static IP. Then, create an entry in DNS that identifies that IP. Then edit hosts.nntp to identify the name as a downstream feed. Also, I beleive the 'newsfeeds' file needs massaging. Since I've never done it, I'm not sure if this advice helps, as news usually takes a lot of trial and error to get functional. If you can help me with the mail, I would appreciate it. alschnei@starlink.com
