As an aside, one thing you do have to be careful about when using PC Pursuit is multiple simultaneous connections using the same account. By all accounts Telenet strongly frowns on the use of one account for several connections at the same time. This can happen easily with UUCP polling if you poll several sites and you're not careful about timing, or if you use your PC Pursuit account for personal calls (BBSes and whatever), and also use it for your UUCP connections. /rs -- Robert Sweeney {sun!hoptoad,cmcl2!phri}!dasys1!rsweeney Big Electric Cat Public Access Unix (212) 879-9031 - System Operator You do it because you're drunk, you're numb, and you just don't care.
