I've been trying to get both UUPC and GNUUCP running on my Mac the past
few days, with little luck.

GNUUCP has a real nice Hypercard front-end for mail, and it took about
10 minutes to set up and configure it.  Once I got it connecting to 
uunet however, I keep getting errors in slave mode that "K versus Control
bad in above packet".  From the source code I get the impression that uunet
is trying to use a window size of 1, even though my node asked otherwise.

UUPC doesn't have this problem, as it implements a sliding window protocol,
but I've yet to get it do dial properly using the HAYES-style entry in 
the SYSTEMS file.

It's tempting to try and mash the two working pieces of these two systems
together and come up with something workable...

Does anyone have any experiences with the above programs that might be
helpful?
