But you can't do it by fiat... even IBM can't kill off procotols it
hates, and it has (compared to UNIX vendors) a vise-grip on its users.

I just rewrote my copy of UUPC to handle the pathing you mentioned
above (how?  real simple, I guessed!), and you are correct, it is
vague.

But do you want every PC on the net to register as a proper domain?
This could get REAL hairy REAL fast.


QUESTION:  What is the proper procedure to to register as a UUCP
	   host.domain?  A friend said drop mail to sri-nic, but 
	   they are internet, not UUCP (or do they do windows too?)
