There is indeed documentation:  The manual I'm looking at has a title
"AT&T Enhanced TCP/IP WIN/3B Release 3.0 Installation and Administration
Guide for the AT&T 3B2 Computers" and it has a section "Setting up TCP/IP
for WIN/3B for UUCP" that describes exactly this procedure.  Those long
hex strings are ugly, but a program "rfsaddr" is supplied to take a host name
and shove the "0x00020401" onto the front of your host name's IP address thus
eliminating a bit of typing.

AT&T chose port number 1025 (0x401) for their network listener service,
but RFC 1060 (Assigned numbers) lists port 1025 as "blackjack".  Can anybody
explain this?  Is blackjack an alias for AT&T?    1/2 :-)
