- Depends on what you call lame. You can set it up in less than 15 minutes.
- (If you know what your are doing) Which is pretty goood comparing to UUCP
- implementations on other machines. Ever tried setting up a UUCP system on
- a PC? be it Waffle or UUPC. Of course your ISP has to support UUCP access.
- Mine luckily does. So I do 95% of my news/mail reading/writing off-line
- via my UUCP setup. Saves me a helluva lot on my phonebill. :-) Another
- advantage is I rarely have to cancel an article. I can just kick it out
- of the spool directory if I change my mind...
