With uucp one uucp connection supports all the user mail. I guess it's not the most common use -- but it works until SMTP could handle the dhcp based address. ($15/month for ppp and shell access for my ISP gives my wife and I seperate mailboxes on my machine over uucp. With any other option we'd need seperate ISP accounts or have to pay for a commercial account at $100+ per month) Bill ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bill Pechter | 17 Meredith Drive Tinton Falls, NJ 07724 | 908-389-3592 pechter@lakewood.com | Save computing history, give an old geek old hardware.
