I'm chair of the working group named in the "Organization" line, and I'm
happy to report that I have Lol Grant and John Gilmore's `gnuucp' "almost
working" on dialup lines.  (They had it working just fine on hardwired
lines, but we need a bit more than that...)  We should be ready to send
out `beta test' versions, including a VMSmail interface, smail, pathalias,
Geoff Huston's NEWS system w/gnuucp interface, etc., by mid-February or so.
Watch this space for more details.
