Well, uh, yeah, I got it "working".  However, it kinda breaks down on long
file transfers (i.e. above about 2K or so...).  I've since put in a request
to John Gilmore for a beta test copy of "gnuucp", but I haven't heard back
from him yet.  I think the problem is down in the "g" protocol handler...
since the only documentation for this protocol is sketchy at best, it's VERY
easy to mess it up, and that's PART of what I think is happening with both of
my versions of DCP.  Watch this space for further details.
