Greetings:

Before I ask my question, I should tell you that I'm writing a BBS that will
incorporate UUCP, Fidonet, and its own protocol, which will use xmodem, ymodem,
and/or zmodem. I would like to use the existing UUCP startup rather than having
to write my own startup for the x, y, and zmodem protocols. The normal UUCP
startup looks something like this:

	\020Pefg\0              <--- List of protocols available
\020Ug\0                        <--- Use the "g" protocol

What I'd like to do is add in "x", "y", and "z", respectively, for X, Y, and
Zmodem. Do X, Y, and Z already exist? If not, is it okay to impliment this
feature in my bbs so I won't clash with anything else? If it isn't a good
idea, what would any of you suggest?

I have tried unsuccesfully to get ahold of Peter Honeyman, however it seems
as though my messages are getting lost in transit.

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

-->Chris
