- Hi all,
- I am intending to set up my bbs running linux. I am currently running
- waffle under (yech) DOS I need to know where to find UUCP and NEWS software
- preferably C-News as that is what I am most familiar with having installed it
- on my sun2 sun3 and ISC unix box. I have never had to deal with installing
- UUCP software (though I have had to configure it on the sun2 (smail and
- sendmail) So what is available. I have no FTP access but I can get to the
- (rather expoensive) services like compuserve (they have little linux stuff)
- and genii (better but not great) and bix. I have seen more stuff on bix but
- my access is rather shaky. Also the (very expensive) uunet uucp archives
- are accessable. I have been running linux since 0.10 so I'm reasonably
- competent about setting that part up though the last kernel I compiled
- was 95c. I have seen SLS mentioned but not where it is could some kind
- souls out there please send the data (mail unless YOU think this stuff
- is required by all).
