The specs for the UUCP g protocol were posted to comp.std.unix in
Volume 9, Number 55 on 11 Febuary 1987.  I found it in comp.mail.uucp,
where it had been posted by John Gilmore.  It is troff source for a
paper entitled ``Packet Driver Protocol'' by Greg Chesson.  He wrote it
while he was at Bell Laboratories (he's now at Silicon Graphics).  I
confirmed with him that it was approved by AT&T for release, and also
that a parameter setting problem in the original paper was fixed.

If you have a connection to the uunet machine, you can uucp it as
	comp.std.unix/packet.proto
If you are on the ARPA Internet (ARPANET, MILNET, NSFnet, etc.),
you can get it by anonymous ftp (login anonymous, password guest).
If there is enough interest, I will repost it.
