-
- Depends on the country your in. Minimum setup requires a computer,
- modem, uucp package (uucico/mail/news), and a feed. Some countries have
- restrictions on feeds, others on modems.
-
- The most common solutions are unix-based, but there are also DOS and
- MAC uucp implementations available via the Internet. DOS Versions include
- fsuucp and taylor uucp; Mac Versions include Gnuucp and uupc (according
- to the O'Reilly "Managing UUCP and Usenet" book which should be required
- for anyone setting up uucp).

- Waffle BBS also hits the Internet. There are a number of other BBS
- programs which offer uucp doors.
