    On 2017 Feb 05 16:30:46, you wrote to me:   
      
    ML>> wow! i can't even find the UUCP maps any more... i was listed in them   
    ML>> for a number of years before we got dialup internet and switched GIGO   
    ML>> to using the addon package...   
      
    RW> Yeah, this is actually done through an SMTP<->UUCP gateway that I   
    RW> connect to overseas that just has my system set up as a subdomain of   
    RW> his domain - wildcat.uuhec.net.   
      
   so i cannot bang path you...   
      
    ML>> so what tool are you using to do the actual conversion from the .DAT   
    ML>> and .XQT files you receive? are you converting them to FTN PKTs and   
    ML>> then tossing??   
      
    RW> I am using the wcGate 4.2 addon that was written by Mustang Software   
    RW> for Wildcat! 4.2 BBS (which I run at wildcat4.winserver.org or   
    RW> wc4.winserver.org).   
      
   i'm not familiar with that software... does it take the ""bag"" files and toss   
   them directly into the message base or does it convert them to something the   
   FTN tosser can use?? that's part of the key...

   Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it   
   wrong...   
   ... I don't like making plans because then the word "premeditated" gets used.
