You need to put the handler in the correct directory ( the 'l' directory on your system (workbench) disk), and you need to mount it. GETTY: is an assign. You obviously didn't read the full instructions on how to install UUCP. For more info, post questions to alt.sys.amiga.uucp, a news group dedicated to UUCP on the amiga. Good Luck!
