Cc: hermit@thinkum.uucp Date: Wed, 19 Jun 91 0:22:27 PDT I've tried to hack together a .maildelivery file. This is what I came up with: * * | A resend -r hermit@thinkum.santa-cruz.ca.us Preliminary testing seems to indicate it works. I'm going to be moving into Jeff's room on the 22nd, and his stuff will occupy his room, the garage, and/or the living rooms. At some point after that I would like to get a connection to deeptht (and eventually r5omino) in that room. I have four serial ports on my computer, but only two seem to work, and one of those is my mouse. The second board (which has COM3 and COM4 on it) probably just needs some tweaking of DIP switches, but I don't understand IRQ and other related issues well enough to do it myself. I was hoping perhaps you could help me get that working. I have two Supra 2400 modems, one here and one loaned to a friend temporarily. I was thinking that perhaps some sort of arrangement could be made where all the dialin/out lines can be centrally located, and both my modems could be made available for that as long as I have access to them (via telnet or serial lines to deeptht or ArmoryNet). I'll help pay for phone cost on the data lines, of course. I will also want to have 9600 baud UUCP between my machine and deeptht, if it can be arranged, over a serial line (I don't think UUPC would work over ethernet). I plan to write a newsreader/mailer for Windows (please try to hold your laughter). Anyway, let me know what you think of those ideas.
