There is already a Fido to UseNet gateway - one shining example is
the site at address uwvax!geowhiz!circle (Fido Node 121/1).  I understand
he had some serious programming put in on a Fido to UseNet gateway - but
everytime I try to understand just WHERE he put his time in I get confused...

However, I too, want to try and connect to UseNet - any info would be
very much appreciated.  Best description I've seen so far is in the
back of the UNIX Programmer's Manual (vol. 2).  The book I have appears
to talk about UNIX System 7.

However, I STILL have more questions -

	- What is the very FIRST things that the Master/Slave uucico
	  programs trade?  BEFORE the protocol agreement (Uxxxx and Px).

	- Isn't there a way to introduce other protocols into uucico?
	  What is it - and is there an XMODEM protocol?

Any other help is appreciated ... thanks!
