Well, this is semi-related, and there's been a few people asking for
it anyways, so...

Posted to unix-pc.sources is a shar file that is a Trailblazer+
configuration for HDB UUCP on a 3b1.  This configuration has been in
use on several HDB sites without any problems.  While it may not be
exactly what you need, it can probably at least be used as a starting
point.  

If anyone discovers any problems or makes any enhancements, I'd be
interested in seeing them, since I haven't paid any attention to this
stuff for a while now... :-)

Note: This configuration does not make any attempt to circumvent any
bugs or problems in the TB+ or HDB itself (of which there are some).
