You can quite easily support V2, HDB and Taylor *config* files at the same time. My /etc/uucp contains HBB, V2, Taylor and shared subdirs. Each contains the files appropriate for that particular flavor of UUCP. (shared contains things like dialcodes). They are all symlinked, as needed, up into /etc/uucp. I think the issue of *log* file format was the concern (of a previous poster)... --don
