You didnt mention that you had prior experience with UUCP, even though you have prior experience with SCO. I recommend UUCP and USENET by O'reilly & Associates. UUCP is actually pretty standard among most flavors of UNIX, and is not too difficult to setup. /etc/uucp is where your UUCP config files are. Check out the man pages for these files, L.sys in particular. David Bauman
