You can pick up models of the 7300 with smaller memory/disks for under $1000. Yes, I know that doesn't answer your question, but again, maybe it's of interest to somebody. Also note that there are MANY public-access UNIX systems across the country. Try reading or posting to comp.mail.uucp, comp.mail.misc, news.admin, etc. to find one in your area. BTW I have a Mac, and posted requests for info on UUPC or anything similar myself numerous times but have never received a reply either...I have to assume it's vaporware... ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: Boyd Ostroff, Technical Director :: System Operator, "The CallBoard" :: Department of Theatre, SUNY Oswego :: - Serving the performing arts - :: Internet: ostroff@oswego.Oswego.EDU :: (315) 947-6414, 300/1200 baud, 8N1 :: Voice: (315) 341-2987 :: UUCP ...sunybcs!oswego!cboard!ostroff :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
