Hi there,
I'm looking for hints and tips from people who have successfully
implemented UFG_103, which is a UNIX USEnet to Fidonet gateway.

My planned configuration is as follows:  PCBoard 14/E3 (running
with LANtastic network, multiuser), using Drawbridge to handle
the Fidonet interface.  I plan to use a converter of some form
to handle the Fidomail with PCBoard (anyone done this?)

I hope also to interface Drawbridge with UFG, the Usenet-Fidonet
Gateway package.  It's not registered yet, as I'm not sure I can get
it going.  When I do, I will!

At present I have no specific questions, because I haven't finished
digesting all the manuals yet, but am more interested in advice,
prior art or comments from Those Who Have Gone Before, especially
any in Oz.  Also, pointers to other preferred products would be
desirable, e.g. I nearly got FSUUCP working, which could be run
as a door under the BBS to allow callers to read netnews.  But this
seems less attractive than the UFG approach.

echo "Thanks" >/dev/advance
