     If you have only a uucp link, then the following information may 
not help you a lot because you'll need to use ftp(1).  Use anonymous
ftp to uxc.cso.uiuc.edu and look in the cso/sendmail directory.  There
is a cf subdirectory that should have all the materials for a good
example.  Keep in mind, though, that you may wish to ftp *all* of the
sendmail directory and rebuild sendmail for your machine because the
cf stuff may not work with a version of sendmail that is backdated too
far.  I don't have Rel. 2.0 of the NeXT software yet, so I don't know
what version of sendmail comes with it.
