For the last few years I have been running software remotely
on differing types of systems.  This intales downloding our
software onto other systems via uucp (sometimes kermet whatever.)

I have been requested (by my boss) to publish a checklist
that exlpains this procedure so that anybody in the company
(he used a SALESPERSON as an example)  could do this themself.

This would entail getting pertenent (sp?) info like phone #,
login, passwd etc. then setting up the L.sys file etc.  

He says that uucp is simple to set up, "I have done it hundreds
of times without many problems."  This has not been my experience 
due to the nature of our business, running on many differing systems
with differing uucp implementations (some quite brain dammaged).

If anybody can describe a simple procedure, or site references, robust 
enough to work with many systems, I would appreciate you 
letting me know.  If anybody has any comments (like I don't think 
it can be done!) I would appreciate those as well.

Thanks in advance.
