I ran Taylor UUCP on a small BBS system (3 lines!) I ran from my apartment in Deer Park, NY, circa 1991-1994 - USENET node kilowatt It was on System V R4 by Consensys on a 486-33 and later a 486DX2-66 - but some things were badly broken, so much so that things like UUCP weren't even usable. I don't remember why. Might have had something to do with the devices. So Taylor it was. I have version 1.04 source code. Hooked up to Motorola (mcdhup) in Hauppauge for USENET news and email, using a Telebit Worldblazer, and then disseminated it to various other small USENET nodes. I had quite an interesting routing setup for the mail system included with SVR4 (mailsurr?) that would take the UUCP maps posted in comp.mail.maps, run them through pathalias and construct a complete path to every node in the map. It was the only way I knew of to deal with multiple systems I could connect to that would in turn also connect to multiple other USENET nodes. I had no definitive "smart host".
