I am trying to setup UUCP on FreeBSD 2.0R and need pointers.
I have never setup UUCP before so I have no idea what I am
doing on this. Basically I have a DOS box with a MS-Mail to UUCP
gateway, and have two options for connecting it to my FreeBSD.
one is serial-serial using a null-modem. the other is serial-TCP
using the COMt (excellent software) to emulate a hayes session
using telnet over winsocks.

okay, so what do I do? I already have the O'reilly book on order
but no idea when it will be here.
