The new BNU uucp supports both TCP and serial uucp connections. My news feed is through one of the builtin ports ( the 4port async card works too ) at 19200 from a Telebit TB+ modem. I forward netnews via the TB+ and also via an ethernet TCP connection to some machines that run 4.3bsd. The tcp 'e' and 't' protocols are supported as well as 'g'. Note: BNU uucp is new with AIX 2.2. Prior releases did not support tcp based uucp connections. I never tried a non-hayes modem with prior releases either. Ed Clarke phri!acheron!clarke
