- I also had the same problem as above. The odd thing is that out of 3 sites that
- I poll, one of them consistently gave me this message and the other two were
- fine. One of the fine ones was mwcbbs, the other was na NCR tower running
- sys V.3 and what looks like HDB UUBP. I don't remember the make og the system
- that it didn't work with, but I asked the sysop about this and he seemed kinda
- surprised.
- I don't have configuration files to send because I restored MWC's original
- UUCP so that I could receive news, but I though the apparent site dependence
- might be worth mention.

- How soon is "VERY soon"?
