- I received responses from the following people:
-
- jlaiho@ichaos.nullnet.fi (Juha Laiho)
- ian@airs.com (Ian Lance Taylor)
- irscscm!bogart!phzzzt!mfaurot@next32.isnet.com (Michael Faurot)
- chip@chinacat.unicom.com (Chip Rosenthal)

- They all recommended I look into the Taylor uucp implementation which
- should be portable to a XENIX/386 platform and which does support the
- 'f' protocol. My thanks to all of these folks for their assistance.
