Wow ED,
I used UUCP years ago too and remember that it did work to transfer files
over a dial-up modem but it gave us fits to install and keep it running. We
had telephone and communications problems that kept us very busy. Hope a
local implementation, without the telephone, will give better results.
Bottom line for me was ... UUCP was like an onion, you peal off a layer, and
you weep.
