Message-ID: <38792@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU> Date: 21 Sep 90 23:43:43 GMT Sender: usenet@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Reply-To: brand@janus.Berkeley.EDU Lines: 12 Can someone summarize what is necessary to connect a 386 machine running DOS (not UNIX) to the uucp network. You may assume that there is a uucp (UNIX) node that would be willing to be the entry point from the PC to the network. The sort of info that would be appreciated is: 1. Is it possible, if the PC is not running UNIX? 2. What MSDOS software is needed? 3. What special hardware is needed? The alternative approach of maintaining an account on the UNIX machine and explicitly dialing in via a modem is not what I am after. Thanks in advance, -Graham
