	True, they don't supply  much documentation for UUCP.

	Sure, here is ours (with host-names substituted!).
	We communicate with 3 hosts. 'host1' call us and we call them.
	They log in as 'Uhost1'
	'host2' and 'host3' don't call us up, we call them.

	We are able to exchange news with all three hosts, we permit
	file-transfers to and from all three hosts, but only
	from /tmp and /usr/spool/uucppublic.

	Here is the file, hope it helps.
