About 20 years ago I did a one-week course on this subject. It is not easy to implement but when working it is vastly superior to the hodgepodge of utilities supplied with current TCP/IP packages.
I don't recall using "uucp" or "cu" over TCP/IP.
We had serial connection to X25 lines, proprietary protocols, and occasional serial-serial connections with a null-modem cable.

The current HP-UX "man uucp" refers you to:

I've never seen the first book but do have a copy of the second book. It is a good book.
If you have an Ethernet connection with TCP/IP protocol between the two computers it is a waste of time pursuing old methods. If for some obscure reason you ONLY have a serial connection using a null-modem cable then there is some reason to pursue the history of unix-unix communications.
How precisely are the two computers connected?

Where site is the name of the site with work, N is a count of each of the three possible types of work (command, data, or remote execute),
and Message is the current status message for that site as found in the file.

the site. The process id of may also be shown if it is in a TALKING state.
