Hi netters,

I would like to ask how can one "make" a UUCP site, in particular, I
have a PC and a modem, is it possible to have my home computer as a
UUCP site ?  What are the software, OS, tools ... etc that are needed
to do that, What are the costs incurred before and after establishing
the site ?

I would appreciate it if you can reply by email, I will post a summary
to the net.

Thanks in advance.

[Moderator's Note: Certainly your 'home computer' can be a UUCP site.
In fact, if you'd like the counsel of the administrator of what I
think is one of the finest privately-owned UUCP sites anywhere, you
should contact randy@chinet.chi.il.us. I consider Chinet my 'home
system' for my personal netting. Randy Suess operates Chinet out of
one room in his apartment giving a full news feed, mail and a lot
more. If he can't advise you on setting something up, no one can!  PAT]
