I am sure that FreeBSD UUCP *IS* Taylor UUCP. The original UUCP from Bazerkly was pretty simple, thus most UUCP shops I worked at used HDB (HoneyDanBer) UUCP. (incl: SCO and Tandy RS/6000) It had a *lot* more (useful even!) features, logging, and performance. To see for yourself, try 'strings -a /usr/libexec/uucp/uucico | grep -i Taylor'... Taylor UUCP can be compiled several ways, though, to use different format config files (easier upgrade from HDB). Thus, if you have an existing Taylor UUCP (SunOS, HPUX, etc...) that was compiled to use existing config files, the FreeBSD format (native Taylor, I think) may look strange. If you can give us more detail, there are several folks around here that still use UUCP for commercial purposes. - Jy@ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
