- You might want to grab smail 2.5 or 3.1.28 and compile it instead.

-
- Is it the H.J. Lu patch? If so, then it should work. I'm using it right
- now with no difficulties.
-
- : 3) I've had some problems setting up uucp. While browsing the net I've noticed
- : several people implying uucp does not work currently. Is this correct?
-
- I posted a patch for this a while ago. You need to grab mpak-1.3.tar.Z
- to use this patch. As for me, I'm running Taylor UUCP and luvvin' it!!!!
-
- : For all of the above, if they are not working now. Is there a previous version

-
- Well, maybe not the programs, but you can count on an older version of the
- kernel, 0.98pl1 works just fine for those programs.
-
- : Thanks in advance for any help.
-
- Anytime.
