You can even configure and rebuild it to operate with HDB configuration files (instead of the new/improved Taylor versions) or the older pre-HDB files (of which you'll find examples on your AT&T box.) The boot "Managing uucp and Usenet" from O'Reilly and associates will be a great help to you here; you should be able to find it at a larger book store near you (i.e. B-daltons, Barnes & Noble, etc...) > > (2) transfer said mail back and forth in the fbsd pop-3 server. > > in other words, giving the 3B2 users access to pop-3 mail through a dail-up > fbsd host. i don't have working tcp/ip on these 3B's. Hmm... if you mean that the FBSD machine accepts POP mail (somehow) and sends it on to the 3B2 via UUCP, that's a little different... The uucp side is easy, it's the "accept POP mail" that might be tricky. I suppose, if you gave people accounts on the FBSD machine, and put .forwards (or used /etc/alias) to forward the mail, it wouldn't be difficult. Then; you could have a cron job with checked the POP server (using a POP-client on FreeBSD) to grab and forward the mail appropriately... There is a reasonable popclient for FreeBSD in the ports. That sounds "doable." - Dave Rivers -
