UUCP is handy for email as well as automated off hour downloads. : 2. There is a package for PC called UWPC. It let you login from : PC to Unix thru modem and allows multiple sessions (up to 7, : I believe) in Unix site. Is there anything similar for 386bsd? I am working on something similar but I do not have a release date yet. I have a bunch of other projects that keep taking up my time. : 3. To login remote Unix from home (386bsd), what's the best comm package : you think? Will a 9600 modem be much better than 2400 except : for the increase in speed? Is SLIP or remote mount possible? : I'm using Pcomm. It is very similar to the popular PC software ProComm. I forget where I originaly got it but it ported from my Sun to 386BSD with very little trouble. I find it much easier to use than Kermit. SLIP is possible but annoyingly slow at 9600 bps. -- Thad Phetteplace Network Systems Analyst, Allen-Bradley Co.
