Hey, LeapFrog GS allows multitasking on the GS.. I believe it's 
interrupt driven multitasking, but it's still multitasking

	I will first say that I am now about to speak about something
I know virtually nothing about. I realize it's not a very smart thing
to do, but I'm an adult.. (Children, don't try this at home!)

	Isn't TCP/IP related to UUCP? If I'm even correct that they
have something to do with each other, then I think I have something to say 
about this..

	ProLine does not use UUCP. From what I understand, all messages
run through some gateway machine that runs both UUCP and whatever
(proprietary?) standard that Morgan Davis's using in ProLine.

	What I am interested in is true UUCP so that I could get 
permission from my school (I'm not saying they'd even do it, I just
mean theoretically) and get my own newsfeed from the UNIX machine I have
an account on. This would be for a BBS or something.

	One question about ProLine that I have is this though: Does every
ProLine site in the country have to call up that one gateway (thus 
messages get out/in daily or hourly or whatever but potentially HUGE phone
bills) or do messages 'jump' from one node to the next (thus possibly
days or WEEKS until a message gets out/in)???
