Well, this is a cry for help...

I have had my hands on UUPC and SLIP for almost two weeks now and I have yet
to have a chance to use them.  I figure from the readings that SLIP will let
me network my Amiga to a SUN or a VAX, or an Amiga, but I have yet to under-
stand how.  I hooked two Amigas together (for lack of a Sun or VAX) and I 
ran SLIP on both (the program called NET) and up came a window, but no help,
other than a list of commands.  Nothing I did had any real consequence.  So
I started asking around and no one I know has tried it yet.  

So I start asking about UUPC.  Seems that people want to do something with it
but no one is yet.  I really want to hook UUPC up, so that I can get Usenet
directly into my BBS.  I just bought a 40 meg (that will last a week supporting
Comp.Sys.Amiga) hard drive so that I can do this stuff.  

The real question of this posting is:

   Who do I talk to about these networking protocols,
                    and/or
   What books do I check out of the library,
                    and/or
   Is anyone else having problems getting it up.
