Message-ID: Date: 8 Nov 90 14:39:00 GMT Sender: VMNNPOST@pucc.Princeton.EDU (Listserv to Netnews Gateway) Organization: Listserv to Netnews Gateway at pucc.Princeton.EDU Lines: 42 Approved: AUXPOST@PUCC Hello, I have recently set up a uucp connection to my network at school. The uucp file transfers work fine. When I try to send mail, nothing happens, when I look into /usr/spool/mqueue I find the letter and a companion file, the companion file contains a message which is a complaint that it can't find the host. Does this mean that I have to "configure" sendmail (shudder...moan...) for each "uucp" connection? My SysV machines at work "know" immediately when I add a new uucp host an I don't have to "do" anything extra. Assuming I have to deal with sendmail, does anybody have a simple "tutorial" which shows how to solve my problem. I found the README file in /usr/lib/sendmail.cf referentially opaque. UUnet sent me a flyer offering T2500's for about $895.00 and lower end models for what looked like reasonable prices. (Telebit Modems). Do the Telebits work well with A/UX? Will my Practical Peripherals 2400 modem cable work with the Telebits? Do the Telebits work well at 2400 baud. (The main campus modem pool is 2400 and less. I also have Paul Campbell's CommCard, is it more efficient to use a "fast" modem with the ports card?
