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.

Quote:

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

Tim O'Reilly and Grace Todino,
Managing UUCP and Usenet, O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. USA.

Grace Todino and Dale Dougherty,
Using UUCP and Usenet, O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. USA.

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?
