The book "Managing UUCP and Usenet" from O'Reilly and associates is a good starting point on how to set up and use UUCP and it's related utilities. However, Taylor UUCP has changed the configuration files; these new files are not documented in that book. I've heard rumors that a new edition is out, or on-the-way that documents the Taylor configuration files. In the meantime; Taylor UUCP can be configured to act like one of the other systems, e.g. HDB. [Read the book, this will make a lot of sense.] Also, with FreeBSD; there is plenty of documentation on how to set this up... - Dave Rivers -
