There have been a rash of requests for information on uucp for
the mac in both comp.sys.mac and in comp.sys.mac.programmer 
lately. I have tried to answer some of the questions as time 
allows. I have also received numerous requests from folks to 
mail them either the sources or binaries or both. 

You should all be aware that Alen (the person primarily
responsible for the port), has posted both the sources and
the binaries to comp.binaries.mac. I know this because I saw
a note from him in comp.sys.mac regarding this a while ago. 
It is in the queue (hopefully), so be patient.

I am currently using Alen's uupc-mac port and have been for some 
time now. It has worked quite well for me at 300, 1200, 2400
and 9600 bps.

Unlike the old versions, this one was compiled under Symantec's
THINK C 4.0 and provides a standalone application with a 'slave' 
mode that really works. 

Like the old versions, the mail front-end is a port of the *nix like 
'mail' program PCMAIL and is not what I would call user friendly ;^) 
or complete, but it does the job. In my spare time (dont seem to have
much these days), I have been working on getting a subset of the elm
mailer running on the Mac. Dont hold your breath, as I said, I havent
had much time to work on it. If anyone is working on similar projects,
I would be interested in hearing about it.

Hope this helps. If you have further questions, I will try to answer
them. Feel free to drop me a note.
