I am writing some routines that allow quickBBS to interface with the UUPC
package and the UUCP network.  These programs are in beta-test, and I need
someone to test them.  You must have UUPC (I can send it to you if you need
it), be running QuickBBS, and have a uucp login somewhere.  Features of the
software include:

Netnews is gatewayed so it looks like EchoMail, so when echogen runs, it can
export it to other local boards.

Mailing lists can be gatewayed so they look just like netnewsgroups.

The program can gateway mail to other nodes (yet to be implemented).

and lots of other stuff that I haven't thought of yet.  If you want to help
me test this software, please contact me.

The software to go the other way (Fido -> UUCP) hasn't been written yet, I'm
still working on the UUCP -> Fido.
