 Yes Mr. Habermel, and I really will read more about it, but I still with the problem of configuring the /etc files of NetBSD 1.0 to be able to dial to some
local host or on-line service as a BBS for example. 

 I understand the concept of layers and some differences between them. I was studing QUARTERMAN & CARL-MITCHELL's book, /The Internet Connection: system connectivity and configurarion/ but this book deals with generic questions and not specifically with what was happening between netbsd and me :)

 They say that UUCP works directly at transport layer. SLIP and PPP stay at network layer and so do not need to have TCP or IP configured. Hence I have to deal with SLIP and PPP first to be able to configure UUCP, is that right ?

 I was following this idea till I start starved...

 I was trying to talk to someone out there using "cu" or "tip" but none of them
could reach my modem to make dial up calls.

 Do you have any suggestions ?

 Thanks again, Ricardo Ferraro.

PS: Today I discovered that some documents are not present at my /usr/share/doc/* like those concerning uucp and internetworking with i386.
In special:

 /usr/share/doc/usd/02.learn
 /usr/share/doc/usd/01.begin
 /usr/share/doc/smm/14.uucpimpl
