Not really.  The latest released version is 1.03D, although a few changes
have been made since this time, nothing is ready for public distribution.
Considering that both Matt and I are busy, and will continue to be so for a
good deal of time, chances are that it will be a while til the next release
is available.  We'll be sure to announce it at that time.

I can think of 2 possibilities right off the top of my head...

  o Is UUXQT in your execute path? (That is, has the directory in which
    you have placed the file "UUXQT" been added to your execution path via
    the PATH command?) Typing UUXQT from the shell/cli is a quick way to
    check this.

  o Do you have enough memory available to load UUXQT while UUCICO is
    still running?

If its not one of those two things, the possibilities lower significantly.
Next thing to check is to make sure you have at least 10k of stack or so.
(I don't know how much they use, so it's a possibility).

After that, I can't think of anything.

Well if you have a shell that uses only STDIN/STDOUT and does no special
input processing that would require being at a keyboard, it should work.
No guarantees tho. You can always have DNET called via Getty and use the
remote shell that way. But that would require running DNET at the local
end as well.

Hope that helps.
