In modern FreeBSD (back to 1997 or so), uucpd is intended to be run
>from inetd. It does /etc/passwd-based login authentication and
launches uucico. I am not sure this was always true of uucpd; I have
a vague recollection of some system on which uucpd was intended to run
as an independent daemon that opened port 540 directly, and can't
remember whether that was the behavior of earlier BSD Unix or was just
a brain-damaged implementation from a Unix vendor that didn't get it.
Taylor UUCP supports running uucico directly from inetd. If you give
uucico a -l argument it will issue "login:" and "Password:" prompts
and do login authentication using its own list of users and passwords
(not /etc/passwd).
What's stockholm running, AIX?

If we are talking unique networks, how about:
1. I think what we need is a series of iridium phones and modems, we
can be "outside" of the regular networks.
2. Maybe a series of store and forward cell phone sites. You call and
download an analog data file and each node forwards the call to the next
nearest site until you reach the destination.
3. Microwave BBS.
4. Short-wave network

Didn't someone on the list ask about the schematics and such to the
Quest Super Elf a little while back? As of today, I am the proud owner of
one of these machines. It was shipped from Quest on January 27, 1981 as a
kit and assembled by the original owner. The total cost of the kit as
shipped was $112.85. He added the full hex display, including low and high
address displays and he also gave me it's PSU, Quest catalog dated Jan 81,
and the original reference manual. It's also still in it's original box.
If anyone still needs info, let me know.

What about the 5265? I want that, if it is still alive...

There's a great book by Gordon Bell and others entitled
"Computer Structures: Principles & Examples" which is online
at www.ulib.org...
However, there are a few pages in it they didn't OCR, but
instead just scanned and put up on the web. Unfortunately,
they weren't scanned in sufficient resolution to be readable.
Does anyone out there have a copy of this book? What I need
are the instruction-set processor listings for the CDC 6600
Peripheral & Control Processor on pages 737-738, and the
isp for the CPU of the same machine, pages 739-742. The
scans need be only hi-res enough for me to OCR; as an
alternative, I'll take photocopies, but I'd rather not
leave this to someone else to OCR for me (actually, I
don't mind someone else OCR'ing it for me as long as I
can get printed or scanned copies to use as a sanity
check).
This book should not be confused with Bell, et. al.,
"Computer Structures: Readings and Examples". Also a
great book, but lacking the info I need.
Thanks,

$70 for a sound card? that's just stupid. Probably same people that want to
run win2k on a 386 model 80...
Vibra is a chipset that creative labs uses in their sound cards. Actually, if
you just want .wav file sounds and MIDI, an IBM ACPA MCA sound card will
work. That's what I'm looking for.

The ACPA is supported in windows and OS/2. not sure about dos. for 98, you're

That would be cool.. I'd do that as well. I'd even devote the use of my big
old Microvax II to it. Running a UUCP network on a modern machine just
wouldn't seem right :-)
