When you were a UUCP site, did you have different logins for each neighbor, or the same login for all neighbors? If the latter, you're screwed. If the former, you can watch for a "login " process to be exec'd by getty when the machine tries to get in. The login process will last until uucico (or login) times out. I suppose you could try calling all your old neighbors, if you can remember them, to find out if you're still in their Systems file. --- Tom Fitzgerald Wang Labs fitz@wang.com 1-508-967-5278 Lowell MA, USA ...!uunet!wang!fitz
