I have downloaded the 'suck' programs (similar to slirp, I am told) but I
am getting core dumped out right as it finishes pulling down all the news. 
Seems to be having problem switching over to batch up the messages it just 
pulled down. Does anyone already have a port? I am using FreeBSD 2.0.5 with
Taylor UUCP, CNews and SMail. I have a PPP link upstream to my ISP, and
several downstream UUCP sites. I am trying to use suck to pull certain groups
down to batch and send to the downstream sites.
Any help is apreciated.

Please reply to donal@brewich.com AND gclarkii@freebsd.org
