Minor point here if calling overseas from the U.S.  The number to use is:

	01144717929535#

Note the # at the end.  This will tell your overseas carrier that you are
finished dialing the number and to put it through.  The 011, will need to
be changed to whatever your long distance carrier needs if don't get that
carrier automatically when using 011.

The following script will also help:

uucp jclark\!~/groff-1.02.tar.Z-part-aa ~nuucp/groff.tar.Z.a
uucp jclark\!~/groff-1.02.tar.Z-part-ab ~nuucp/groff.tar.Z.b
uucp jclark\!~/groff-1.02.tar.Z-part-ac ~nuucp/groff.tar.Z.c
uucp jclark\!~/groff-1.02.tar.Z-part-ad ~nuucp/groff.tar.Z.d
uucp jclark\!~/groff-1.02.tar.Z-part-ae ~nuucp/groff.tar.Z.e
uucp jclark\!~/groff-1.02.tar.Z-part-af ~nuucp/groff.tar.Z.f
uucp jclark\!~/groff-1.02.tar.Z-part-ag ~nuucp/groff.tar.Z.g
uucp jclark\!~/groff-1.02.tar.Z-part-ah ~nuucp/groff.tar.Z.h
uucp jclark\!~/groff-1.02.tar.Z-part-ai ~nuucp/groff.tar.Z.i
uucp jclark\!~/groff-1.02.tar.Z-part-aj ~nuucp/groff.tar.Z.j
uucp jclark\!~/groff-1.02.tar.Z-part-ak ~nuucp/groff.tar.Z.k

Since I have a SysV.3.2 OS, the file names have to be shortened and the normal
directory is nuucp.  Change nuucp to uucp if your system is different.  You
can put the files where you want, this script is a starting point.  James
forgot to mention the ~/ in front of the files being requested.  It really
does make a difference.
