  • Re: UUCP

    From Nick Mackechnie@3:772/210 to Björn Felten on Tue Jun 30 20:54:00 2020
    I'm wanting to setup UUCP for the BBS to pull in email....

    Seriously? That's 30+ year old technology (pre WWW and http and so on).
    Why would you want that? BTW, I have a rotary dial telephone from the same
    age, are you interested?

    Hiya

    Searchlight BBS ceased production in 1999, UUCP was the technology of the
    time used by many BBS's via dialup/Waffle connections for email/news. It's always great to have a useful and helpful response like this, thank you. I
    have a suggestion on where to store said telephone :-)

    Hi Ward,

    I have an accoustic coupler sitting here ... have used it too in a Fido-
    environment.

    :-) Yeah had one of those too!

    Me too. I even have it unpacked (never used) in the original box.
    Just waiting for it to be worth a fortune...

    You might have a while to wait ....
