Correct on the UUCP and IP addresses.  My system (vulcan.com) is 
only an MX record on the Internet.  Meaning that my server (Holonet) 
gets all my e-mail, etc. and then I UUCP to them.  But at far as the 
Domain Name Servers (DNS) are concerned, they send their stuff to 
Holonet.

But on the other hand:  I can't FTP or Telnet from my home system.  
I can connect to Holonet as a dumb terminal, do an FTP and then a 
UUCP to me though.
