I've heard about this, but someone apparently came up with a way to
use true UUCP. I want to know if this is possible. I figured one of the
metalheads out there might know as it would give me incentive to bug
my friend for his Apple ][gs so I could get Metal going on it again.
Mainly I'm interested in using it for a personal UUCP setup, possibly
expanding into a full-blown BBS at some point. I have UUCP set up on
my Mac already -- it's kinda cool, but I'd like to get it running on
the ][gs so I can use my Mac (and the disk space on it) for something
else.
