As part of the script, /usr/sbin/sendmail -q is run after a ppp connection is established (via /usr/sbin/ppp -background, so the phone doesn't keep going up and down :) ), and the waiting mail is queued out. The ppp process is killed after the script is done. Probably more work than it's worth :) I didn't know you could run TCP over UUCP, though. -Drifter (I hate it when I spell something wrong in the Subject: header!)
