*** Some user related stuff
What is UUGate ?
UUGate (called ug futher on) gates Mail <-> Netmail and News <-> Echomail
between Internet and Fidonet.
What do i need to run uugate ?
You will need an PC running OS/2 2.x w HPFS, and BinkleyTerm 2.56/2.50EE.
If you recieves compressed (cunbatch) news you will need COMPRESS.
How do i send mail to Internet ?
You address your netmail to uucp at the node/point uugate resides, and
the first line in the netmail must have "To: jbr@cindy.ct.se" ie the
internet address you are sending the mail to, *AND* the line in the mail
following "To: .." must be empty.
You can allso put the internet address in the to: field of an netmail,
but if you do so the netmail *MUST* be addressed directly to the UG
point/node.
How do i send articles in an echo area gated by uugate ?
You do as you are used to, ie no special trix are required.
*** How to setup uugate
Example fakts: (taken from the authors setup)
Fidonode: 2:200/427
UUGate port: 2:200/427.3
Internet: address jbr@cindy.ct.se
Mailhost: seunet
First create following dir's (according to your configuration).
c:/uugate (where the exe and cfg files is)
c:/uugate/tmp (scratch dir)
c:/uugate/spool (the spool dir)
c:/uugate/spool/seunet (spool dir for my mailhost)
Patch your BBS.CMD file like:
so you can jump out on an errorlevel.
:UUCP
cd \uugate ; change cwd to where uugate exe's is
futoss -sseunet ; toss mail from the port to the mailhost
uucico -sseunet ; callup your mailhost
uftoss -sseunet ; read mailhost spooldir and send it to fido tosser
cd \Bt
start /win /b /min squish.cmd
Patch the uugate.cfg file according to your needs.
*** the UUGate programs
futoss.exe ( futoss -s<system> -x<debug 0|1> )
futoss first scans your netmail dir for mail to "uucp",
afther that it reads the bink "hlo" file to get echo/mail.
uftoss.exe ( uftoss -s<system> -x<debug 0|1> )
uftoss reads the "system" dir and sends the mail/news to your
bink inbound dir.
uucico.exe ( uucico -s<system> -x<debug 0|1> )
uucico calls your "system" and delivers whatever futoss put
in the spool/system dir.
Afther that it recieves whatever the mailhost gives to uucico.
