You don't need RFC822 if the sendmail is installed correctly. Out mail gateway gets uucp mail without problems. If what you're trying to do is speak TCP/IP you will need to get the package from SCO (or Excelan, etc) and some hardware. You might try running over a serial line (SLIP) which is in the SCO package. If you want to translate internet style addresses to uucp you can run smail (archives in uunet) to change the format. Other than style there is no reason why you need a new mailer to talk to sendmail. It will accept the same bang addresses you have been using, unless someone has removed the capability. -- bill davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.crd.GE.COM -or- uunet!crdgw1!crdos1!davidsen) "The world is filled with fools.
