	I've _just_ finished the move from cu/uucp/news on my 
	old SVR4 system to FreeBSD--after hours of trouble-shooting
	and thanks to the help from this group.   Perhaps my 
	experiences will be of some help.

	Have you set up your /etc/uucp files?  This is essential
	to getting both cu and uucp working.  Have  you set up
	`tip' and got it working?

	The order I took was.

	1) tip
	2) cu
	3) uucp


	We probably should take this off-line to save some bandwidth.
	If you would,  write me via  ``kline@tao.thought.org''.  I 
	believe my MX configuration is finally right.
