  I keep reading requests for UUCP, Zmodem, ARC, and PKXARC. All of which
I use in a UNIX and DOS enviorment running a bbs. The programs that I 
use are PD and come with source. It all works quite well when running
a bbs. So hopefully some others can benifiet from about what I am going 
to describe in my setup.

Two systems: 

AT 10Mhz                                 XT 8Mhz
Xenix                                    DOS 
XBBS Software for BBS                    Telix 3.11 to call into the 
rzsz Software for Y and Z modem.         BBS via modem and hardwired.
kermit for kermit.                       UUPC for email to the xenix system.
newarc For ARC and PKARC files   
KAQ9 Software for TCP/IP running slip    KAQ9 for TCP/IP running slip
Pcomm 1.2 A procomm clone for unix/xenix 


 Telix has Zmodem built into it and the bbs supports zmodem. When I have
 to edit files on the Xenix system I use the vt100 terminal emulation.
 The only bug I noticed is when going into a insert mode it overwrites
 the exsisting characters. But reappear when you hit the esc key. I 
 noticed when switch over to a ann arbor termcap you can switch the
 telix mode to 50 lines on a vga card and can edit useing vi. There
 is a few bugs with some sequences but eventually I'll work them out
 of the termcap.
  

 newarc -- Not actually a new arc just a hacked up version of arc to
	   support PKXARC squashed files. Alot of the dos bbs have
	   pkxarc files on them. I found no bugs with this. 

 rzsz      Is Y/Z modem for unix. Should run under SYSV3.2 also.

 KAQ9      For the network. There is still bugs on the Xenix side.
	   I'm still working on this one.

 UUPC      alpha.arc For the turbo-c version and uupc_mc.arc for
	   MSC5.1 version. I have several local people who have
	   dos machines and send email to the unix machine. 
	   It dosn't have uux built into it. If anyone has 
	   made a modification to do replies I would like to
	   get a copy.

 XBBS      A pain to setup but it's written in C and it's fast.
	   Supports X/Y/Z kermit file transfers. 

 Pcomm1.2  Has the look and feel of Procomm, I found alot of
	   little annoying bugs with this one but it
	   functions. 


 Best of all this is its FREE. Except for the phone call. There are
 serval bbs that offer it as far as I know. Sandys in the L.A. area.
 714-898-8634. Howard Leadmons in M.D. 301-335-1955, killer down
 in Dallas don't have the number off hand. My bbs in the S.F., CA 
 area 415-796-3686. I'm sure there is more.
