Hi net,
I have a standalone machine running 386bsd, and I want 
to uucp to a host.

1. I tried almost everything with my sendmail.cf, all I get 
   when I send mail to system!user is host name lookup failure, 
   and my mail bounces after couple of days or immediately,
   depending on what I say in sendmail.cf. How do I configure
   sendmail for a standalone machine? (I'm using bin01 Taylor uucp.)
   (Yes, I do sendmail -bz every time...)

2. I defined alternate phone numbers in /etc/uucp/sys. It dials
   the first one, detects busy, recycles, and from that moment
   it just talks to NOTHING. It sends characters somewhere, but
   they just don't end up in the modem. Is it the Taylor or the 
   com driver? Anyone experienced this?

thanks for answers...
Dejan
