Nathan, In addition to my earlier message, you might consider picking up the UUCP package that is available for the amiga. I know that it's available in one of the Amiga forums, but I don't remember which one. The problem with this idea, is that although you could install it on your own machine easily enough, it normally requires root privledges on a 'regular' unix system to configure it's UUCP to recognize your machine. This means that you would have to find a friendly SYSOP to set up a UUCP connection for you on his machine. The nice thing with using UUCP, is that nearly every unix system sold has this package. It is used extensively to transfer files, including support of USENET News, which is a distributed BBS-like system supporting over 400 interest groups (called newsgroups). If I seem pedantic, I am so for two reasons: 1) I am uncertain of your level of experience with UNIX, and 2) It has been my experience that when I am not what most people call pedantic, I am generally misunderstood. Perhaps it's a flaw in my communications skills. Suggestions are welcome! Hopefully Helpful, Edwin Wiles – elw@netx.com (I got a *domain*!) – Software Engineer
