- Actually I worked it out when I polled my upwards site after posting the
- news item. It sent the uucico stats to 'cicostat' which of course wasn't
- registered as a user - rmail sent it to 'postmaster' which is defined as
- me so I got it OK !

- Yes, MNP4 is error correction (actually its faster than MNP5 which is error

- with g-protocol and 250 cps with e-protocol (but I've only used e-protocol
- once)
