Thanks! You are still missing the blindingly obvious. People who *need* UUCP have no chance in hell of being able to marshall hosting resources, or they damn well would not *need* UUCP. This _SO_ reminds me of when FreeBSD murdered X.25 and ISODE support by changing the routing code out from under it, by failing to update the X.25 and ISODE code to use the changed routing code. I guess it's "OK" that most packet radio installations these days use anything but FreeBSD. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
