(eg. UUCP only supports DF02 and DF03's,etc.) Now I understand why DEC would have done that, but it is moderately annoying if you have foreign peripherals. They didn't remove any code, they just are not going to get excited if you tell them your Frammitz Widget breaks the Rofulo program, or whatever. If UUCP fails on one of *their* dialers, then you can complain to them. Pretty much standard stuff. -- (This mind accidently left blank.)
