They both came over last Sunday, and we cloned my system onto theirs.

Got a couple of questions...

	- how does one make getty work?  I figured out that the thrashing was
	  the result of no /etc/gettydefs, but I have no idea what to put in
	  my now-empty file to set up a simple modem rotary, or whatever.  I
	  grok bsd modemcap, and HP-UX gettydefs, but it appears I'm missing
	  something?

	- which uucp do folks (Karl?) have running?  I've played with the one
	  on plains, and while I've got it working fine when my other system
	  calls the pc532, outbound "dials" die in mid-session with protocol
	  errors.  I've got both hdb and bsd sources around, am tempted to
	  port the bsd4.3reno uucp, but seems like real work.

	- is it possible to get smail2.5, or something else, to do the minimal
	  stuff necessary to treat all addresses in '@' notation, but recognize
	  that *anything* not local should be uucp'ed to a neighboring machine?
	  We do this inside HP, and it'll cause me much less grief if I don't
	  introduce '!' addresses any more than necessary.

Thanks also to everyone who offered sources for the Dallas no-slot clock parts.
Since I didn't need anything else right then, I ordered a pair from JDR, and
Fred and I now have clocks...
