I've been using the ufgate package described below. You will need the fossil driver mentioned. It is available on compuserve and various rainbow boards, and possibly in the info-dec-micro archives. You will also need a mail reader or fido software.

UFGATE is a package that will move files, mail, and news- groups back and forth between UUCP/USENET and MS-DOS machines. The package will gate between UUCP/USENET and FidoNet or you can just run the package stand-alone, effectively being a leaf site in UUCP/USENET. UFGATE runs on IBM-PC/XT/AT or PS/2 machines or compatibles. UFGATE will also work with MS-DOS or PC-DOS machines that are not 100 percent IBM-PC hardware compatible with an appropriate FOSSIL (a communications device driver). This is needed for the UUCICO clone, GNUUCP (aka. UUSLAVE). The GNUUCP program has been brought up to a full implementa- tion of UUCICO with routines so it can run with the MS-DOS file structure. You can initiate or receive UUCP connections and there is full support for l.sys files. You can even use it with PC Pursuit. The package will handle the importing, exporting of UUCP messages, and also the automatic deletion of old USENET newsgroup messages. UFGATE will also handle mail/newsgroups that have been either 12 or 16 bit compressed. UFGATE can handle either UUCP bang-style, ARPA/INTERNET domain style, or a hybrid of both. It can also handle aliases for individuals or machine names. Message forwarding is also built in. UFGATE can handle multiple hosts. Message formatting, like the automatic appending of individual signature files, is supported. Detailed debugging is available, so setup is easier. UFGATE is free to non-commercial, non-supported users. If you are interested in support, which includes updates for a year, the Late Night Software telephone support service, and a hard copy of the manual, a $35 fee is asked. If you are a commercial site, you will automatically get the support described above, and the manual for $195. Support is available to all users via the UFGATE echo on FidoNet. You can download the UFGATE package from the Late Night Software BBS at: +1 415 695 0759. Currently we have a 9600b/s V-Series Hayes modem. The time to transfer the file (UFGATE.ARC) at 9600b/s is 10 minutes, or at 2400b/s, it would be about 40 minutes. We also accept floppies. You can send either 360Kbyte or 1.2Mbyte, five and a quarter inch floppies. If you send 360Kbyte floppies, send four. The package will fit completely on one 1.2Mbyte floppy. The floppies should be pre-formatted on your machine. Send the floppies in a standard floppy mailer with a return label, and return postage to: Late Night Software Tim Pozar 671 28th Street San Francisco, CA 94131 If you have further questions, you can write us at the above address, or call us at +1 415 695 7727, or write to the Email address below.
