uucp via IP ?

[Gene Spafford]

The 4.3 BSD uucp contains code (standard) to connect to a uucp daemon
on remote sites via a TCP link listening on port 540.  The
documentation that comes with the code describes how to set it up.
It works great.

However, if you want the uucp to transfer news, let me suggest you
consider NNTP.  Transfering files?  Use ftp.  Mail?  Use an SMTP
based mailer.  The uucp packet scheme plus handshakes works but
probably isn't the most efficient use of your bandwidth....
