We use a modem on a 4D/20 running IRIX 4.0.1 to dial up an internet
provider with UUCP.  At times, we also call that site with SLIP.
I would like the ability to run uucico over the SLIP connection when
the modem is being used for that.  Does this seem possible?
I know that UUCP can be done over TCP/IP, but SGI does not seem to
provide any Devices file entry for it, and I am not sure how to set
up the Systems file for such a thing either.  Can anyone help or direct
me to information about this sort of thing?  Thanks.

The current version of UUCP shipped by Silicon Graphics does not
include UUCP over TCP/IP.   The necessary code exists and I hope it
will be shipped in the next major release.  If it is sufficiently
important you to have it sooner, then make your needs known to whomever
sells IRIS's to you.

Oh, it should be noted that IRIX SLIP co-exists with UUCP.
The right things will happen if you just turn off the SLIP connection,
allowing UUCP to grab the line for its needs.
