Can't wait. :| Actually, I might be one of those making that noise (at least in some german LUG lists) ;-o Point is: German law requires the ISPs to log all their clients traffic (who mailed to whom), so that the goverment can spy on the people. (you know, we're all terrorists ;-o). I'm sure the constitutional court will stop this (as it did with other coup attempts like Lissabon treaty), but that will take some time, enough time for bad things to happen. So we're building up direct (encrypted) uucp links again. Not just to get around the regulation, but also not to let the spies learn what's going through the wire. If anyone likes to have a UUCP feed, just let me know. cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ cellphone: +49 174 7066481 email: info@metux.de skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------
