Yes, i'd like to see one too.

Apparently there is a public domain protocol called JANUS which is being
used with binkleyterm under DOS.  I hear that source is available, but
i'm not sure where.

What would be the ultimate is to have this incorporated into UUCP 
(b protocol maybe??).

If anyone knows where I can get a copy of the JANUS source, please
mail me!

Thanks

Aris
