  Grin. I finally worked that out. I even got some mail, including
your stuff.

 BL> And what software do I use to dial Paul up and log on?
 BL> FX-UUCICO does not seem to have a dialling directory, telephone

 JG> To dial Paul, change to the directory that you have fxuucico

  It's really easy... once I worked it out! The dialling directory is
actually those other files I'm not game to try yet.

 JG> Now... ...what mail reader are you planning on using? 

  That's where I'm stuffed. If I use Watergate to create the uucp, I
have to use a messagebase... and Watergate looks like a real mongrel
to set up (but I like their documentation). What do you recommend as
the reader?

  I can go two ways... write my own reader/gateway, or set up a
mini-bbs. It took Paul a month, and I could roll my own in Delphi in
that time (it's pretty quick) but I can't find the bloody UUCP
standards.
