You can still use the regular Internet as your transport
and do away with the toll calls, can't you? A sledgehammer
approach would be a VPN.

And yet another example of why Microsoft's leverage of their OS dominance
is hardly a benign monopoly. >:-/

I think the Windows 1 SDK was bundled with some versions of the
Microsoft C Compiler v 4.0.... or I guess, it would have been
the compiler bundled with the SDK.
In the late 80s, lots of people were buying the SDKs and then stripping
out the compiler packages and selling them. I bought MS C 5.0 that way

copy of a letter from the seller to Microsoft, who registered me as
a valid licensee! However, they stopped that practice shortly there-
after.

Then, when compared to CD's, you would listen to the supposed satanic
messages on Styx albums and such by playing the vinyl forwards but when
compared to other vinyl it would be backwards? <g>

A search of the Web did not turn up any specific references to fungus
attacking CD's. The closest was a question from someone in Malaysia as to
whether a certain CD cleaning solution would protect CD's against fungal
damage, so apparently that person has experienced this.
Most of the concerns with the longevity of CD's were with degradation of the
plastics and mechanical separation of the layers.
Oh, come now people. There's no metabolic process that makes aluminum into
food. Undoubtedly, these fungi are eating something organic (glue?) and
producing an acid that is destroying the metalic layer.

The source code for uucp is availible any number of places; that's probably
the best existing doco. I occasionally have to dust off my ancient UUCP
sk1llz to get files on and off some antique for a client.
BTW...If one wanted to create an out-of-band network, I dunno if I'd pick
UUCP. There are a number of other approaches to doing this out there that
are more functional, more covert and less baroque.
I can almost remember when I was "...!ucbvax!gatech!weasel!ken". Weasel was
a i386sx/20 running SCO Unix in my apartment, and with a 2400 baud dialin, I
was *way* kewler than those BBS weenies. Mail, USENET News and file
transfer...all you really needed. Peter Honeyman was even around to ask
questions, which helped.
