I'm trying to set up BSD. I haven't located a set of binaries yet,
but I have a goal in mind: a UUCP to PPP gateway. The site will contact
the net by PPP (demand-dialup style) and then UUCP accounts will forward
me mail to put on the net.
I'm not asking for a great deal of detail here, just procedural
guidance: I have two friends that can deal with UUCP and PPP, and they're
having a deuce of a time getting them to work simultaneously. Now that
I'm about to start FTP'ing disks, I'd like some idea of what I'm fighting.
UUCP is familar territory to me, at least HDB-flavor, and I don't
expect Taylor to be overwhelming. Has anyone here done a UUCP/PPP kind
of scenario, and what key difficulties did you have?
Thanks,
Bri
