- >(If you know what your are doing) Which is pretty goood comparing to UUCP
-
- One of the problems I see with the Amiga networking programs I've tried
- (including AmigaUUCP) is that the installation docs are usually quite
- confusing. What often seems to be missing is good example config files
- and/or environment variables. If I have a complete setup example along
- with explanation like the following it helps alot: Set this variable to blah
- if using blog and blarb, unless using splat, then set it to the empty string.
- (A short background of blarb, blog, and splat)
-
- I have AmigaUUCP setup on my machine (I think). How does UUCP work with
- AmiTCP, if at all? Is it an alternative method of network communication
- or a companion?
