That brings back memories.  I used to have a UUCP feed many years ago (running
UUPC under DOS), which fed GIGO, and from there, on to my FTN feeds. :)  I ran
UUCP until the ISP stopped offering UUCP services, then I had to switch to
SMTP/NNTP on a different connection, which took a bit of tweaking to get to
work without too many issues (as I didn't have a 24x7 connection).  I got
pretty good at tweaking sendmail.cf by hand. :)
