Ok.  I keep getting these messages wanting to know where me and my
machine went, so I guess I need to make this posting.

rpp386 is an anonymous UUCP archive server.  You call it with a UUCP
request for sources and it sends you the files you asked for.  It
also handles kermit, tho' kermit works kinda funky.  [ So they say ... ]

The complete list of files is in /usr/spool/uucppublic/archive. It
is non-small in itself, but is kept fairly up to date.  It includes
patch and many other favorites.  There is a smaller version I will
try to bring up to date.

This is a working L.sys line:

rpp386 Any ACU 2400 15128328835 in:--in:--in: uucp

If you are calling at 1200 baud you need to fiddle around a bit.  There
are something like 140 of the favorite net.toys in there.

A typical session would be something like

% uucp -m rpp386!~/archive /usr/spool/uucppublic/rpp.archive

Then wait for the mail saying the transfer completed.

You may want to pick up rpp386!~/snatch, which is a shell script which
knows how to get things from this machine.
