Sorry to burden the net with this, but the mailer at crash.UUCP has a
very weird idea of how to parse mail so I can't get through.	

To Jamie Hanrahan:

I was thinking of uuslave when I mentioned that there was a uucp clone
for VMS. I am searching for the sources as fast as I can, but until
things here stabilize a bit, I may not have much time to look for which
tape I put it on. Have faith -- I am searching for it, though. I  know
it's here somewhere....


To others:

I wonder if there would be a way to write low-level SLIP routines that
are specific to VMS and then hack Phil Karns' excellent TCP/IP package
to use the VMS specific routines. This would give a potential VMS-net
real Internet facilities like full FTP, SMTP, and all the goodies that
TCP/IP provides. Admittedly, it'd be slow over a dialup line, but so is
uucp (no flames please -- I'd rather not bother with dumping them) and
it would prevent all sorts of evils like bang addressing and other
ickyness. Any comments on the idea?
