Hi, try getting smail, and declare your isps host you make the connection to to function as smart host and tell smail that you want uux as smart_trans- port. So in your smail config: smart_path=your_isps_host smart_transport=uux uucp_name=your_name , refer to man 5 smail for details. take a look at routers too, where smart_host is defined. if you've already set up uucp, try uucico -DS your_isps_host & don't know if that's what you were asking for, bye atrak -- @rak / http://www.franken.de/users/lorien/ --------/ _@rak.franken.de /----------/ atrak@lorien.franken.de /---- -------------> Mail pgp@lorien.franken.de for PGP Public Key <--------
