From: tn03@uafhcx.uucp (Tn3270 access) Path: uafhcx!tn03 Organization: College of Engineering, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville In the process of trying to set up a full-blown UUCP site, I have found something to use in the meantime. I set the environment variable PAGER to "cat". Now I use readnews, so this may not work for other news-readers. I run a shell under emacs and capture everything that goes by to a file. I am sure you could do something similar with PROCOMM (ech!) or Telix. As an aside, the install program for FSUUCP was very unsatisfactory. I spent two-three hours setting everything up after I helped the install program to function, only to find out that the device driver for the comm port locked up both my machines. At that point I was quite depressed and went to bed. FSUUCP's author has said he'd try to help me resolve the problem, but we'll see. Anybody had better luck with any other uucp packages? James E.
