uubp - Unix-to-Unix beer protocol
SYNOPSIS
uubp [-acefghlqy] site
DESCRIPTION
Uubp allows the user to transfer beer, ale, or other fermented grain beverages between network sites. Using TCP/IP (telecommunication pro-
tocol for imbibing pilsners), uubp encodes beer from a local file system into packets suitable for FTP (fermentation transfer protocol)
delivery at a remote IP site.
Example:
% uubp -c"AMBER" -f0.7 -y0 -q2 198.137.240.100
The preceding example sends two six-packs (-q2) of amber ale (-c"AMBER") with a fizziness quotient of 70%, brewed using yeast of type 0
(saccharomyces cerevisiae) to PI address 198.137.240.100, which is the IP address of the White House.
RESTRICTIONS
Both source and destination sites must be running uubp-daemon. In addition, local restriction exist in many areas for the transportation
alkohol across state lines. The Electronic Frontier Foundation is currently involved in litigation to ensure the ability to distribute beer
through the uubp protocol according to the 21st Amendment. To support the SIG of EFF devoted to this cause, join the Homebrewers of the
Electronic Frontier Engaged in Winning Electronic Independence and Zeroing Establishment Nonsense (HEFEWEIZEN), or send mail to
hefeweizen@eff.eff.org. Be sure to include the entire text of this manual page.
NOTES
Have a homebrew!

uucico - uucp file transfer daemon
Syntax
/usr/lib/uucp/uucico [ -f ] [ -r1 ] [ -s system ] [ -x# ] [ -X# ]
Description
The program is the daemon associated with the utility. The daemon is automatically run when requests are made or when polling occurs as
specified in It performs the actual file transfer over the network. The program first calls up the destination system and login. After a
successful login, a handshake takes place between the destination daemon process and the local daemon. The handshake determines if each
daemon has permission to use the other's local resources. Both daemons then select the protocol that will be used to send and receive raw
data.
The local daemon searches the spool directories for job requests, builds a list of files to transfer, then begins transmitting files. The
file transfer protocol ensures that each file is transmitted only once and also notifies the user if a file cannot be transferred. After
the program transfers all the files, the destination site transfers files back to the local system. When both systems have completed their
file transfers, the connection through the network is terminated.
The output of follows the progress of the conversation. Debugging output from the slave is placed in the file in the spool directory at the
remote site. The output is less meaningful than the unless the source code is available to help interpret the messages.
Options-f Forces to start a conversation with a specified system, regardless of any previous connection status as provided by the files (system
status).
-r1 Puts into the master role. The slave mode is the default.
-s system
Designates the system to be contacted.
-x# Sets the debugging level. The number sign (#) can have a value of 0 to 9. The higher the number, the more debugging output. No packet
level debugging is printed.
-X# Sets packet level debugging output. The number sign (#) can have a value of 0 to 9. The higher the number, the more packet level
debugging output.

I am trying to determing how long it will take to transfer 384 Gb of data across a 100 Mb full ethernet. If I am correct, I come up with 36 Gb per hour. Surely that is not correct. I assumed 100 megabit per second is 10 megabyte per second, which is 600 megabytes per minute and 36 GB per hour.... (3 Replies)
