G'day Paul,

Replying to a message of Paul Edwards to All on 19/05/97:

 PE> 1. Are you receiving UUCP mail that includes messages from me saying
 PE> "Sunday test" etc?

Yep and they got tossed into the fido side and passed along to John T. as
far as I could tell from my examination of the fido .pkt.

 PE> 2. Are you receiving UUCP mail from other users, especially Jeff Green
 PE> (since he's gating messages from here).

I've only seen the test messages from you. I couldn't connect on sunday. It
kept timing out. I'm hoping to see at least one from Alan M. from what I
saw in a message of his.

 PE> 3. Have you successfully sent UUCP mail yourself?

Yes. Well I hope so!

 PE> P.S. BTW, I'll be setting up a "dial.sysop" newsgroup
soon, which will
 PE> hopefully be spread to the other sysops interested in the new
 PE> network, to discuss where we want to take this.  BTW, under the new
 PE> structure, EVERYONE is actually a sysop, since everyone who doesn't
 PE> have a phone that answers in UUCP is a private node!

Do you want this gated to John T. when you have it setup? He seemed to be
an interested party when you first proposed this network. 

John?

 PE> P.P.S. I must say that I am very happy at the moment.  Absolutely
 PE> astounded would probably be a better way of describing it.  I was
 PE> expecting it would take another few weeks to find software suitable

Yes, it all seemed to fall into place quickly.

 PE> (although there's still no confirmation that he actually liked what he got!)!

Why? What did you call him? :-)
