} DEC's DECShell product includes an implementation of UUCP, although the
} documentation claims you can only use this to communicate with other
} VMS systems or with Ultrix systems (the implication being that you can't 
} communicate with any other sort of Unix system).  I have no idea 
} what they did to cripple the implementation, or whether it's possible
} to circumvent this restriction.

	We're talking to a Xenix (PDP11/34) system with this UUCP.

	No problems.

} 
} The other drawback is that DECShell isn't exactly cheap.  :-)
