I know somewhat about uucp and more about netnews, but very little about Eunice. The guy at the other end is a complete novice. They will be polling us, since we have no dialer. Some questions: Does USENET run ok over Eunice? Is there anything special I should know at this end about setting up a connection, or does it look like a vanilla uucp connection? Is there anything special I should tell the guy at the other end? Will it cause any problems to use the site-name "marquette" [9 letters]? We are running netnews 2.10 over 4.1 BSD. Please respond by mail. Thanks. -- Marvin Solomon Computer Sciences Department University of Wisconsin, Madison WI solomon@uwisc ...{ihnp4,seismo,ucbvax}!uwvax!solomon
