Just set this up here.  We connected our modems (and data switch lines)
to the annex.  The machines that want to initiate a uucp connection with
us, get the annex prompt, send "rlogin ", and then get
a login/passwd prompt like usual.  It's been working for 2 weeks so far
(transferring *lots* of news/mail to multiple sites).

What I wish I could do, is teach uucp how to talk to the annex so I
could initiate uucp connections back out the annex.  I think I'd have to
teach uucp how to telnet (which I'm not currently ambitious enough to
do).  Has anybody got this working?
