On Taylor UUCP: I seem to remember reading that Ian Taylor used some features
of both HoneyDanBer and BNU UUCP. So the name (I think) should stay
"Taylor UUCP". I do know a bit about the package -- having hacked on it alot
to learn about communications, and connect to BBSs. I have hacked alot
recently on Tip, remote needs to be updated badly. I also believe its
a better way to debug a serial connection than cu. I also have one of the
last copies of "Managing UUCP and Usenet" by Tim Oreilly...
On IVtools: I recall seeing IVtools in the graphics package tree. I then
re-updated the pkgsrc tree via CVS and it disappeared. I also got a recent
e-mail from Scott Johnston about turning it into a package. Whats the
status of IVtools as an "offical package". Whos working on it.
