In your ufgate.ctl, be sure you use correct directory name.
I suggest to try this in MS-DOS computer away from VP/IX
(I am running ufgate in my own laptop).  If you want to poll to
foobar, I suggest to make c:\uucp\spool\foobar in both ufgate.ctl
and ms-dos directory.   If you are running under vp/xi, you may
have unix file permission problem.   If creating poll file is 
successful, it should show up as poll.c  under \uucp\spool\foobar.

My boy says, "Don't Worry. Be Happy!".

In article <[2545a7b1:23]comp.mail.uucp@nstar.UUCP> you write:
>I keep getting an error "cannot create poll file"
>when running ufgate to poll my host - any ideas?
