There is a public version of cu (called CU) which uses dial(),
located on alphacm, a BBS site which also accepts anon-uucp.
It has the 'read one char.... write one char' loop which IS very
slow. A note about CU: it has been modified to accept xmodem/ymodem
transfers, so it is very useful to those who call BBS sites.
I also have the HDB version, and it flies in comparison.
