Hi Arthur,

 AM> I think that Unix serial I/O pre-dated FOSSIL drivers... (-:

Of course, I shot myself in the foot by including *nix in the Serial Port
handling area, rather than as the concept of a FOSSIL for DOS/Windows,
OS/2, Amiga, etc...........;-)

 AM> What is the current state-of-the-art of having a 
 AM> Binkleyterm system handle UUCP sessions?

I have heard that some people have run UUCP from Binkley/2 under OS/2 to
RECEIVE UUCP calls, but it not something I have tried myself. When I looked
at it many years ago the UUCP S/W would not share the COM port but this
probvably been resolved by now... I just exit Binkley and call UUCP for
outbound work these days.

Regards............pk.
