Yes, I do want to test the uucp port.  I have multiple machines, and can run a
test on a different one.  I can also interface my mailer to any format.

I want to get the source code for the protocol so that I can rig it to function
from within the StG login package.  This would allow my StG nodes in the
netherlands and australia to hook into a local uucp node instead of calling
major long distance.  It would also help for within the country too.

The StG login package is a commercial package (barely).  But whatever small
modifications/additions to the UUCP software will be placed in the PD.  I have
no interest in selling UUCP, only allowing people who are using StG to hook
into UUCP.

I may not even need the actual G protocol source - all that I am interested in
is the bare routines necessary to implement a transfer.  In essence, something
I can pipe a pre-formatted list of messages into, run to do the transfer (I can
write my own handler for calling in), and which outputs a list of messages to
be posted.  I can take it from there.  Depending on how modularized your set of
modules is, I may not even need any source at all.  But it would be silly to
sit down and write my own G driver.

If you wish, I would even relinquish docs and libraries on interfacing to my
package and you or someone else can do the interface and post it pd.  But as I
wrote the stupid thing, I could handle it much faster.

My intentions in obtaining your UUCP driver are simply to enhance an already
existing network of OS9 people across the country (and world).  I have no want
to make money from this, or even to steal your coding and use for my own
purposes.  All I want is to improve communications between OS9 people by
hooking together networks.  Surely you can understand that.

Let me know what I must to do convince you.
