I say a variant becuase you don't want to copy the file to the local host and then uucp it at 900 prices, you would rather the socket from the archive host be connected directly to a zmodem send program, for example. Or a very clever uucp that, assuming you know what you want, can uucp a file like sitename:file for you using anonymous FTP. -- Brad Templeton, ClariNet Communications Corp. -- Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
